I've been posting and reading the list, from one email address or another (I think the first one was Earthlink) since at least the mid-1990s. I know I got my first delivery from Mild to Wild while I was living in Wisconsin, so that dates back to at least 1996-97. Now I'm back in Louisville where I started, but I'm growing far more chiles (back then I had two or three habaneros in 5-inch pots), making gallons of my own sauce, and the list is much less active but no less enjoyable. Plus ca change... Jim, I certainly hope that letting go of the business makes life easier for you in other respects. I know that I learned a lot about what I want a chile-pepper-related business to be from Mild to Wild.
