[CH] Administrivia -- off topic posts

Hey, everyone, it's February -- since the majority of the subscribers
are house bound, without fresh chiles (or, at least without access to
the garden), things tend to wander.  It happens every year.  In another
month or less people in the southern areas will be planting and things
will drift back on topic.  

I tolerate short drifts about related topics; I don't really like the
list to go beyond that as I think that's not what people subscribe for.

Other things that don't belong on this list include virus warnings
(except Capsicum virus's), chain letters, spam of any sort (notice the
spam content has dropped off to zero the last few months? -- I still get
2-5 a week caught by my anti-spam traps, and I persue them back to their
ISPs), blatent commercialism/advertising (ask me first if you aren't
sure), etc.  The topics are well spelled out in the list charter
(see http://neptune.netimages.com/~chile/list.html).  One line messages
of the "you're right, etc" type are better sent to the individual
posting, as are more personal comments/replies.

Thanks

Mike
