>Oh, I get it....moderates have been banned. We have adopted a "pay by Scoville" model *G* Actually, I was much more worried several months ago, when it got really quiet. I remember commenting to Jim about it as far back as last year's fields event. Then it got quieter. Recently the list traffic has revived - and the way I see it, list members are like embers in a fire; they thrive in each others' company. So list traffic begets more list traffic. And yes, this is a time of year when there may be nicer things to do than sit in front of a computer - at least in the Northern Hemisphere. In my own case, I'm spending more time this year in my parents' gardens, as they are both getting a bit wobbly. But somehow this year, the pepper patch here at the apartment is doing better than the same plants (from the same garden store 4-packs) in my parents' gardens. They have really taken off. I've already picked several pods just to lighten the plants, although some of those are not the fully-ripened versions. Best wishes to all, and now get out of your computer chair and go light your grill! - A _________________________________________________________________ Don’t just search. Find.
