Hello Chile-Heads:

Lately I've seen some references to "Dave DeWitt spam."  Gee, I always
thought that spam was irritating email that tried to sell you something
useless.  All I'm doing is alerting Chile-Heads to new articles on my site
that I think would interest them.  And it's all FREE!  I pay writers to
create these articles and pay a webmaster to maintain the site.  Currently
there is no third-party advertising on my site, and I make no money off it,
except for people who subscribe to the print magazine.  Only 1/10th of 1
percent of my contacts request removal from the list after each mailing, and
of course I do remove them permanently. I consider the emailings to be a
service to Chile-Head community.
Hottest regards,
Dave DeWitt

I Have great respect for Dave De Witt ( My mother actually chewed his ear off at a Chile Festival in Sydney 
last year, Metaprorically speaking that is) - "She was the 70 yr old Polish lady Dave". 
I own several of Daves books and have always considered them good source material. 
As I do Michael Bailes "The Fragrant Chilli" 
Standard Disclaimers Apply 
Although If Michael see's the Plug he may let me back into his Wine cellar one day .. <G> " Not Likely 
though as both our livers took some time to recover from the last time I was there.. 

Its great to hear that you have an interest in Mike's  list, and suspect that you have been a closet member 
for years..Might I point out that to gain some credibility I would not have mentioned the fact that you pay 
writers to create the articles. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Original comment has always been a treat here on this list..
I personally am rather ambivalent as to whether it is Spam, some days it may be some days it might not..
I average 100-140 emails a day and don't check the mail daily, Lately I work 7am-3.30pm then 5pm till-
midnight or later 4- 6 days a week, I average 2-3 Genuine Spams daily and lately 3 -4 Viruses a week, "Its 
the company one keeps" and these are the ones (Spam) that get past the filters that i have set up, 

And now to get on Topic Dave, A Question for you.?


Please reply to the list..
I am having troubles growing Tepins 
My Seed Was sourced from New Mexico< Houston etc #3  sources 
What sort of Micro Climate does one need to grow these ??? 
I'll take Soil Ph etc. and I would like a long reply as I really love these Chiles and would like to have lots of 
plants.. 
FWIW my mother can grow them 3-400 miles south of me in a colder zone 100k south of Sydney Australia  
but has trouble with the birds..

Best Regards
