Can't we please give this a break? We've had so many bouts of knocking
this guy during the past two years. Must we continually rehash the same
thing over and over and over again? Any list members who don't think
they've already read about this at least 3 round already, just look in the
chile-heads archives for more than you can bear. He's got his own ideas,
let him be. I mean, really, if he were only out for profit, why would he
-- a seedsman, not a food products dealer -- persist in pushing uphill
trying to sell wholesale-costly tepin powder (with no advertising, as far
as I know, aside from pages inside his catalog) instead of going with the
flow and selling the much much easier-to-grow highly popular
controversy-free wholesale-cheap hab powder?
