SandyO CH #1146, of the moderate persuasion Sandy, I understand that all too well. I have only been a budding Chile-Head for the past seven or eight years now maybe. My wife has only learned to yearn for the most minor burn for maybe the past two years. I like to think I've come a long way in my few years, but I still am also of the more moderate persuasion. -- Erich (Who always winds up with a few things in the garden that drop me to my knees...)
