Well, Sir & Ma'am. As I have been on this list for many years, and have
been in the sales business for many MORE years, I have to applaud your
effort at growing your business. However, you really did choose the
wrong venue to do it. When you joined the CH list, I really hope that
you read the various admonitions that our esteemed list owner has
posted. It would seem, however, that you did not, and decided that this
would be a great forum to advance your obvious wish to knock down one
very well established HOT chile pepper, and supplant it with your own
claim of having the absolute, never to be disputed, hottest chile
pepper, which of course, you will supply to all and sundry, who wish to
grow it. I do not have a problem with sales technique, per se. What I do
have a problem with is the method you chose to use. Fine, go ahead and
try to knock down Mr. Garcia's Red Savina Habenero, and the many growers
who grow these and other chiles, and supply them to whomever wishes to
purchase them...as well as one guy, who GIVES them away! Well, Mr. &
Mrs. Dremann, I really do hope that your seed business flourishes, and
that you both retire as millionaires, sometime in the future. However, I
really think that your efforts to use this list as a sales floor, is
the wrong way to go about it. I have a great respect for the folk on
this list, and count most of them as close friends, and even a couple as
adversarial buddies :-) but it is very obvious that you have hit a raw
nerve the past few days. Hopefully you will cease and desist. Cheers,
from Old Doug in BC Canada
