I know Ed Currie personally. He's a great dude, gives back to the community, and is a total mad scientist. He has peppers waiting in the wings which put this one to shame!
Well...if so, what's he waiting for? Those would be the hottest peppers.
Always hold your cards to your chest, give someone else a goal that's in reach, then reveal that they, in fact, aren't even close to beating you.
Exactly right. Funny thing is he’s had Pepper X waiting for just such an event, but decided to release it anyway because nobody could beat the reaper. But they were getting close, so time to pull ahead again.
