"I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defense the only arms I allow myself to use -- silence, exile, and cunning." -- James Joyce
Dear conference organizers
Decent tea cannot be made with "hot" water. Tea must be made with boiling water.
You are right of course but I think it's more the fault of the hotel or the caterer. So you should probably direct your ire to them.
I think I have seen once in a while where they use a Sterno fire thingie under the water to keep it near boiling. But you're right, usually they just put out a bin of "hot water" and that is disgusting.
Just don't drink it!

As in all cases, I prefer to direct my ire at you.
