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

Gee Whiz, Duh. As an advocate of the "Art of Conversation," I do
not believe the List would be as interesting or as stimulating if it
were limited to discussion purely on chiles. It is the diversity of
chiles that makes the subject so interesting, not to mention how they
relate to other foods, spices, herbs, and how humans and other
animals, birds, etc. react to them. Also chiles in arts and crafts
(and song).
In my opinion the list would be sterile and uninteresting without the
occasional "off-topic" post.
I have been guilty of posting (by mistake) things to the list that
were completely off topic and I was sent a gentle reminder by the
owner. Oddly enough, one of these posts brought more personal messages
to me than any of the "pure" chile posts I have made.
Tolerance, it makes life so much more comfortable.
