water and coffee

[Eyskens]

I've only been a subscriber to this site since June of last year, but it
does seem that a streak of rudeness, not to say outright meanness has
crept in the last 2 months or so.  It also seems that there have been
some remarkable digressions (from the Camino) of late, although I
recognize the Camino is universal and almost any subject can be
ultimately related.  I've spent a month plus in Spain every year since
2001 as a pilgrim and 'Hospitalero'/pilgrim, and I never witnessed the
(rude) attitudes I've seen expressed lately on this site.

That's not how you spell knowledge, Ed.

Perhaps nothing was added to our knowledge of the Camino but, in our
understanding of people we now know that Claudia thinks Italian coffee
is stronger than French - surely of interest to those travelling through
France on their way to Spain and that have experienced Italy? Also that
Ed can be unnecessarily rude.
