Debbie, et al; What the bread was... The bread was an effort to bring peace to the list after it had taken a rather ugly turn last year. Happily, you & all other newcomers didn't see it. The offer was made to randomly select people & send them a free sample in the hope that people would learn to use the 'delete' key for offensive messages instead of the 'reply to' key. I have had alot of fun in sending out the samples and have enjoyed the kind notes to the list. I apologize for the bandwidth it sometimes causes ;-) It was also done to encourage long term subscribership to the best list there is! The offer still stands- if you send me a name & shiping address, I promise to randomly select names, as time away from the firehouse & my limited finances permit, & send them a sample of the bread. This is a strictly non-commercial offer: these names will NOT be put into any kind of database, nor will ANY kind of promotional literature (I don't have any yet) accompany the sample. For organized, listed hotlucks, a larger sample is available. I hope this small effort helps to encourage the CH list to continue to be well behave, informative, and above all, enjoyable! Hope this helps! -Jim Campbell http://www.wildpepper.com
