I don't often like to get involved in these "squabbles" , but I just have to
say something this time....


I probably have the slowest computer with the slowest connection out af
anyone on this list.  I'm using a 486-33 with a 14.4 modem, it does take a
while to download all of the email. That big-ole picture that someone was
whining about took forever, BUT it doesn't bother me one bit.  I'm a barnd
new "punkinologist" and I'm DAMN THANKFULL that this list even exists, let
alone that it's free!  I don't care how long it takes to get all of the
information off the server, I just go have some coffee and do something
else.

If the speed or content of the internet is bothersome, shut your computer
off and go do something in the REAL WORLD for a change.

Having said my two cents....Hi all,  I'm new to the list and very excited to
be participating.  I am really looking forward to growing my first Giant
Pumpkins nest year.
