Well, sir, or should we spell that cur? I get enough of that kind of
language from small minded idiots who do not have enough intelligence to
make use of the English language, which has enough superlatives and
nouns and pronouns, all correct, mind you, to cover any situation.I
enjoy this list, and have met a great many fine people here, all banded
together to promote, discuss and enjoy that wonderful donation to this
world of ours, from this continent, the chile pepper. I also, do not
appreciate spam, or using a list such as this one to promote the sale of
potatoes, furniture, automobiles(dont care what colour) or anything
else, for that matter, except Chile! And to stoop to the gutter to
object to the kind of thing above, is totally uncalled for. The person
who placed the Jeep ad on the list was wrong, and he admits that fact,
but the person who came back with the kind of infantile reply was a far
greater transgressor, and I trust, will be chastised by more than me.
