You bet, Steve. When I joined, in the middle 90s somewhere, there were about 1500 members all over the world. Maybe Mike B. can answer Linda's question about how many are on the roster now. Let's try to keep the energy going...especially this time of year when those of us in the upper hemisphere are just coming into harvest time. Should be lots of chile talk, recipes, lamenting etc. All that said, however, I must confess....my 'chile garden' this year consists of 4 jal plants! We moderates don't go through a lot of chiles and I had an abundance left dried, frozen, pickled etc. from last year so didn't plant much. I hope I don't get drummed out of the ranks ;^) SandyO CH #1146 of the moderate persuasion
