FireGirl has a seed exchange bulletin board at 
http://firegirl.com/cgibin/seed/seedbbs.cgi

I have to admit that I don't monitor it, so, well, sometimes people post 
things that would probably embarrass me. Maybe that's what happened to the 
Pepper King. I have taken down many places on the FireGirl.com web site 
that allow people to post "whatever they want," but some, like the bulletin 
board, are still there. If you decide to use it, and see people abusing it, 
please let me know.

I used to have a "graffiti" board where people could write whatever they 
wanted about chiles, or really whatever they wanted. 
(http://firegirl.com/fairgrounds/restroom/) I was always a little surprised 
at the things people would write, but decided not to censor it. That is, 
until one day when someone mentioned blowing up a school. After alerting 
the FBI, who I never thought took it all that seriously, I removed the 
ability to add to the board. Of course, I erased the reference to blowing 
up the school. You know, it's difficult to be a one person operation and 
monitor everything that goes on when the site gets soooo big. So, maybe the 
Pepper King just decided it wasn't worth it.

As for the Pepper King himself, if I'm thinking of the right person, I 
recall meeting him in Albuquerque (or at some event) one year. He wore a 
cape and a crown, right? I haven't heard from him in a while.
