Don't worry about it, ya just gave everyone another topic to migrate to.
<grin> By now it's been pointed out that the conversations generally fade
out or wander back to capsaicin-related threads.  It's like any other active
discussion list anywhere else in Cyberia (I moderate one or two of 'em
myself, and believe me when I say that a loose grip holds best.)

So, anyway, tell me more about this USDA repository.  How does one go about
requesting seeds?  Have you done this a lot?  Fairly decent germination
result? Does Uncle Sam want you to write 'em a little report at the end of
the growing season?  Do tell!

>Everyone's opinion counts, so why crucify me?

No crucifixion intended in my reply to you, bro'.  No hard feelings I hope.
