I appreciate your point. Perhaps before I post any more of these, I should check them out with you for your approval.

Oh heavens no! Not with me, a lowly reader!

Check them out with real sources.

True or not, this coffee cup tale does not have even one source, just a long line of untraceable "heard froms". Though it may be a bit much for FR, the rule of thumb for journalists is three sources unless the source is first hand from someone who has proven reliable in the past. There is not one editor in the country worth his salt who would run with a story sourced like this. That may be why it is only to be found at FR!
