Default Where To Buy Tea Online!

Hello I am new to this blog. I am some what of a tea connoisseur and
have been searching for an excellent source of tea. I recently
purchased some tea from sofo tea and I am very pleased with the
quality as well as speedy delivery of tea. I dont' understand why
everyone is verbally bashing them because another customer like myself
is simply stating an opinion. I don't believe in the level of respect
coming from this group who are annoyed because a link to a tea site
is posted and yet another member here in this community has posted a
link to their website with clipping's from other people's work. Please
understand that the integrity of any blog must be maintained and
balanced with both negative and positive feedback and we should never
cross the line and threaten to black ball any one as the old saying
goes " what goes around comes around"

I have an inkling that you are the same person who started this
thread, but I am not technical enough to make an accusation, so I'll
give you the benefit of the doubt.

A few things:

1. This is not a blog. This is a usenet group. These are very
different concepts. One of the issues here is that those who host
this group aren't doing so in order to fund fraudulent tea vendors who
attempt to deceive others.

2. I've been following this group for some time now, even though I
havent been posting for long. It is very easy to spot a vendor
disguised as a pleased customer.

3. While some responses are excessively negative, I don't feel that
any of the comments in this thread have been rude or inappropriate.
There is always the option for the vendor to come back and apologize,
and then become a valuable member of this community-- it has happened
before and likely it will happen again.

4. You talk about the integrity of this group. Even rudeness is more
honest than deception, like the vendor who started this thread.

Thanks, Brent, Shen and Mike. Let me endorse all that you say.

Let me also express my respect to Deserea, of steepingpot, who made
the same faux pas of pushing her site and got the same slap down.
She's now a real contributor and, I hope, comfortable in her
involvement in the group. No one -- well, almost no one -- is looking
to make this a pitbull fight arena and I sense a very warm
encouragement in the group of ideas and views.

Your own credibility is not exactly high at the moment. For instance,
this is not a blog. What on earth made you think it was?
