Re: [CH] This is the CHILE-PEPPER news right ?

I tend to agree with Doug, this list to me is like sitting around a table
having a chat with your friends; Digest subscribers probably view it as
more of a magazine.
I don't mind any questions that my friends (the people on this list) ask,
but I don't like being spammed with an advertizement, virus warning, or
political or religeous (other than CH and El Grande stuff) propaganda.
I have my own ideas on politics and religeon, they're not likely to
change. I figure don't ask and don't tell unless asked. Even the
religeous topic, "Should chili have beans or not?" must be treated
carefully.
I don't mind an occasional political or religeous joke (I like God,
heaven, hell, Jesus, and Moses jokes a lot), but it is even better if it's
chile related.
Advertizements, virus alerts, etc are pushing stuff on people that they
didn't ask for (and don't really want). To me it's like getting something
put on your windshield at the mall when you're shopping.
I do wish Jim Campbell, Dave Anderson, Calvin D. (I forget his last name)
Susan Byers (chile-woman) and others that have products/plants/seeds for
sale would do a little more signature advertizing (4 lines or less) with
their normal posts. Some do now, but some don't.
Well, that's my two bits worth (inflation, used to be my two cents :-) )
