Everyone here and behind the Nepenthes labels makes me look and feel like a cool guy. Basic statement but if you think about it, it's profound, and is likely the reason they do what they do.

The staff aren't going to fawn over you when you come in (they have better things to do), but I've always found them to be extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Keep an eye out for the end of...
