RE: I should sign off this mailing list

I appreciate all your hard work Duncan. I enjoy most of what now comes
through. I hate to see anyone get flamed.  It seems like we had a big
issue with attachments last year around this time. I think perhaps we
all are on edge as the winter draws to a close. I hope you won't give up
on us. I am sure things will settle down as we get to the real work of
growing pumpkins. Till then hang in there!

To the rest of the list: be nice to Duncan he provides this forum for
us. The Internet would be a boring place without the pumpkin list.
