Chastise Cameron? I'm not interested in a pissing match and nobody else
here should be subjected to such a thing... but I'm curious to know how I
chastised Cameron. He said that it was inconsiderate to post on any topic
other than a topic involved the genus Capsicum. How on Earth am I
chastising him? I told him to relax, and I would suggest the same thing for
you too. Why the aggression? I don't get it.
Am I the only one here who feels that the people who have expressed their
feeling about what happened on September 11 have a right to do so? Maybe
the CH list was disrupted for a week or so, but in the big scheme of things,
it's not a long time out of our lives (and it's not an abundance of reading
to deal with) and I think we should all be considerate and supportive of
those who have found our list as a source of support. I'd like to think
that we would all support those who are looking for the help. It's somewhat
disappointing that some of us are too wound up in our own lives to
understand the suffering of others.
Besides.. I did mention my hotter than He## Habaneros... and if anyone is in
the Boston area.. I'd be happy to get together to share in the joy of my
harvest!
Peace. And I mean that........
Dan.
