Scott, I am sorry if you took that as an insult. But if you would have read 
on....I balanced that out by adding something like "Then again....maybe you 
have something special, and just don't want anyone else to find out!". Now 
did you miss that part? Funny how you find the "negative" but totally missed 
the "positive" that immediately followed. Now if you made fun of my seed or 
pumpkin, which many have done, I would not only NOT be offended, but join in! 
And I have! It's all in fun, and I know no one means anything serious by it. 
I also have spent my whole summer last year growing that pumpkin, about 5 
hours every single day. Built tents, floating row cover, spent hours each 
night setting up a hundred gallons of hot water bottles around it to keep it 
and the other pumpkins from freezing, and after all that, a week or two 
before it was finished, it ended up being destroyed by a tractor. I  didn't 
even GET a pumpkin to WEIGH after all that work.
I carefully proofread (almost) everything I post. If I would have thought 
someone would have taken offense (and I guess you would be the only one who 
actually could, but I really didn't think you would, since what I wrote was 
so stupid, and it was meant to be), I would not have posted it. As far as 
repore, I thought I had repore with almost all of the regulars on the list by 
now. But again, if you were offended by that stupid little line in my reply, 
then I'm sorry. But remember, there was a compliment in that reply too. I 
find it interesting that everyone always finds the negative, and misses the 
positive, and takes everything (especially from ME!) SO seriously.
