Craig, I hit the Reply All icon & as stated in my E-mail, Snip: Damn Doug, you went & scaird another listmember to another list: http://samcgees.com/webpost/d1/c3/html/475.htm?rnd=41 When ya gonna learn ta keep ya BC opionions ta yaself so's ya stop scarin off 1st time posters whos only tryin to make a livin in da state of kalyforna? I never had a bad word for *you* or *your* company, never wrote you were spamming or trying to sell me something. If *I* were to take the podium in the US House of Representatives as an unknown & try to get a count of who was in favor of making Nekkid TwisterŽ the "official" game of the C-H's list, do you think I might get some flak? I never posted any flak about you & find your defensive position to me unnecessary. Think about it while you go to this URL: http://personal.inet.fi/koti/fatalii/html/chile_pictures_151.html & let this *person* know he's acutely saying something about your product & your integrity. To be honest with you, I've visited your site many times & find many aspects informative & helpful & often refer newbies to: http://www.ecoseeds.com/Pepper.growing.tips.html because I use almost 90% of what's printed there for *my* seed starting xcept for your feelings on peat products. Before taking someone to task, please read what he wrote, not what was posted to the list. I hope you do not offend the other list members that you, Snip: I only entered your chile-head chatroom for a few days, at Sam McGee's, GardenWeb & PepperJoe's, all of which I frequent along with a number of YAHOO Groups such as DePepperman & will no longer defend you at. Yours in heat, Paul PS Please tell Sue I love her recipe for Tepin (I could care less if it's suppose to have a whosegama above a letter) Sauce! So simple & HOT! My introduction to the Tepin was at a friends house & he said "There not hot." as he popped one in his mouth & chewed (I thought!) So I popped one & thought I was gonna need a loaf of bread & a couple of gallons of milk to put out the fire. Seems my supposed friend put the pepper between gum & cheek & "fooled" me into thinking he was eating one. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Craig Dremann" <craig@ecoseeds.com> To: "The NorthEast ChileMan" <thenortheastchileman@attbi.com> Sent: Saturday, 11 January, 2003 12:02 PM Subject: Thanks for your votes > Thanks for your email.
