I got an administrative post from Mike Bowers as everyone did, but I'm sure it said to do nothing if you want to remain a member. So, I did nothing. What's up! Oh, I get it....moderates have been banned. That's it...a major plot by the fire eaters. Moderate Corps rise up and get me back on this list.SandyO Hi Sandy. Hi there all you intrepid Chile Heads. It doesn't matter who has deserted the forum (I would never believe Sandy would), because this old un hasn't. In fact I am still(surprisingly) here and have lots of chile related guff to spill onto the forum. Well....a little bit anyway. Hey! My chile plants are in far better health than I am, very nice looking and as far as the Roccoto are concerned, pushing out flowers all over the place and that.......in spite of a few weeks of torrential rain. I just cannot get over that although I have had some worrying times thinking they had drowned. My 'Mystery' plants are vibrant. Not tall as yet, but vibrant, like me after I have had my favourite Hab mash on toast. I reckon they are due to start shoving some flowers into view before very long too. No, not me. I gave up flowering a long time ago. If these plants bear fruit and I am very optimistic, then I shall be in chile heaven. Cor! Just think of it because they are so fragrant and so very hot. Ooooh! I have been soldiering on, reading the mails and enjoying the chatter. Never noticed untill Sandy mention desertion. Come on Sandy. No one has deserted, not yet anyhow. Why not give up the struggle and join our ranks? Make yourself a nice 'Hab' sandwich and settle down to make steam? You know you are hankering to swap that old moderate label for something of distinction. Ha Ha! Lots of love to you all from me. Walt. Chile Head #2218 an old chile head from the old country.
