	Ouch... a plea for sanity and restraint that maligns
	an entire gender...

	On Topic:     This is my first try growing rocotos, 
	and I continue to be amazed.  Yeah, I'd seen the
	photos in various publications/web sites, but they
	just don't do these babies justice.  They are soooo
	hairy (pubescens...yup) and the flowers are such a
	beautiful, deep purple.  Their resilience is atonishing.
	I had one that got almost entirely eaten by bugs,
	(down to just one complete leaf) and it has new 
	growth on top and is branching out from the bottom
	of the stem!

	Scott... love this list, warts and all... KCK
