Okay, folks, get your mail order seed orders in asap, before the post
office starts zapping mail. Manufacturers' technicians admit the machines
will have to be zapping on high to kill anthrax and that will kill seeds
and peppers. I think one machine is in use (probably to process DC mail),
but 8 have been ordered so far. I should think there are alternative ways,
but that seems to be the way the post office wants to go, and to hell with
the livelihoods of mail order seed and plant company owners and genetic
diversity. Maybe they ought to close down Detroit while they're at
it. Margaret L
