I concede the fact that I may have missed something, but was not the recipe preceded by a tale of how insanely spicy the chili tasted? I do not think the comments regarding the type of chile powder used in the recipe were in any way disparaging or condescending ( along the lines of my taste buds are tougher than yours), but simply requests for clarification. If anyone got their panties wadded or feelings hurt, I think they need to rethink why. just an opinion, Suz >If I were this person, I suspect I'd be kind of hurt to have an attempt >to share something I liked met like this. >x >Rain >@@@@ >\\\\\ >
