Dear Edith and Chile Heads, Mike Bowers doesn't have the time to be a traffic cop or to slap knuckles for silly scrabbles. I know that I sometimes write rather tersely and might come across as judgmental because people cannot hear the inflections in my written voice. So... I won't write because I don't want to offend when I have strong opinions and cannot express them with a light touch or a joke. However, I appreciate the honest opinions and reactions of Chile Heads. Lots of times, while sitting here at the computer reading the hotter, in your face missiles, I cringe, I duck, I put my hands over my eyes, I laugh, but...I enjoy it! In that I have been flamed and have embarrassed myself (with no outside help) and have not died from the experiences, I would say it's like power surges or hot flashes, enjoy them! _____________ Constance Allen San Jose, California mailto:callen@sirius.com _____________
