Rocky, 

I always enjoy emails such as yours. I appreciate your honesty as well
and always welcome a well written letter.

Unfortunatly, I am unsubscribing. I've been on this list for about 16
months. I'm just not getting anything new from it nor do I feel I can
contribute in any appreciable way. Don't get me wrong - I've learned a
great deal from here and have always tried to give a little something
back. I'll admit, I've sometimes played devil's advocate just to stir
things up, keep everyone thinking, and to keep the conversation dynamic.
In reality, there is only so much you can say about pumpkins before the
conversation becomes redundant. It's a great hobby excercised by a lot
of great people and many of these people inhabit this list. It's been a
cool ride but I'm getting off. Take care and have a great growing
season. We'll see you at the weigh-offs.

Happy harvesting,

Mike Nepereny
