yeah, I had some burn issues too but part of it was probably my fault. I bought it on Friday and it's been sitting on my kitchen counter all week. It most likely got more moist sitting out though. It's been extremely humid here recently. I kept having to babysit this one, couldn't put it down for more than a minute without having to revive it. At one point I had this claw thing going up the side, looked like a double run. It corrected on it's own though.
[sigh] I think the downside of growing and gaining experience is that it comes with a bit of unintentional snobbery. I don't by any means consider myself a snob but it's getting more and more difficult to find any NCs I really like for less than $10.
