AMEN! Karen, you and I have not met, you share your first name with our
youngest daughter. I share your view on that dumb poll absolutely. The
list has been around since the early 1990's and I have been on it since
about 1995 or 6. Sure it may be a little bit of a nuisance to get ONTO
the list, good, IMHO. The small difficulty keeps out the spammers, or at
least makes it a lot more difficult for them to hit our list. Mike
Bowers is aware of all this, and as time permits, will make some
adjustments, he assured me.
I believe that I am the elder on the list @ circa 1926, and a dedicated
old C-H'er! Both Marie and I really enjoy our food with additional heat
and due to Jim Campbell, even if my chile crop fails, Jim always comes
to the rescue with his wonderful assortment of powders and sauces.
Good for your husband's mom! Tell her not to trip over a soaker hose!
