No, you aren't. But I've worked in enough coffee places to the point where I can taste the difference, as well, as the one between different roasts, and to some extent, origins. It's a lot like tasting whisky, there are different types, places of origin, single-malt versus blended, and totally different tasting notes. My biggest problem with decaf is that it's almost *always* over-done, in terms of roasting. I'm not a big fan of dark roasts to begin with, I tend to prefer the light roasts or blended ones, but every decaf I've ever had, it was basically burnt. I don't know whether or not it's *needed* to always roast decaf as dark, but it's *not* the same, even compared to other dark roasts.

Bit late to the party here, but check out some of the so-called "third wave" roasters. I've had a couple of good decaf coffees (and I really do mean "good," not "coffee that barely managed not to suck"). I still prefer high-octane, but it's possible to get decaf that's not burnt swill.

Today I learned that men should get vaccinated for HPV. I had thought only women needed it women, but according to this soreness in my arm I was wrong.
LTK:
To my utmost surprise, the complete phrase 'knowing is half the battle' is actually coined by GI Joe and not by a more, um, conventional source. At least, as far as I could find, the 'half the battle' part is derived from 'the first blow is half the battle' said by Oliver Goldsmith, and since then people have been using 'x is half the battle' for a lot of things, but 'knowing is half the battle' didn't consistently appear before this.
Masterpiece:
From what I understand, men are the ones transmitting the HPV virus, so I suppose we should get vaccinated. HPV doesn't only manifest itself in vaginal cancer, you know...

Wait, what?
