Bart,
I believe your posts could be considered to be "mean spirited" also. My
latest did include two apologies and statement of seeds already being sent to
Kenya. Perhaps they could be shared - since none can be sent now!

Ray,
As usual you don't know when to leave well enough alone. My post had
nothing to do with politics. Here was a case of someone coming to the
list to seek help in obtaining seeds to grow giant pumpkins. Did you
have anything constructive to offer...no. Instead you took a tasteless
shot. " I just couldn't help myself " Perhaps this mean spirited
attitude explains why the 'WPC' is where it is today.
As an American I defend your right to free speech but this has always
been a forum for and about growing giant pumpkins. The man who made the
original request for seeds has nothing to do with our political issues.
Your reply was and remains tasteless and your lack of an apology to
him will always reflect on you poorly.
