Huh? When was I ever rude?! A lot of people on the list just interpret
everything I type as rude for some reason, but it really isn't. I was just
trying to figure it all out, I was confused and excited, not being rude!
ANYWAY, what I was referring to was the link that Mike gave to the genetics
page that posted info on a "1033 Checkon 1999: pumpkin, as if it was
official, which really threw me! I didn't think ther ewere any weighoffs this
early, AND it seems almost impossible for a pumpkin to be 1033 pounds in
AUGUST (or even NEAR that!) and NO ONE has mentioned it until now?! That is
amazing. No BEYOND amazing....sheesh!
