So Bob, first learn to use the computer, or read up on list
etiquette - MY FIRST WORDS TO YOU WERE "OFF LIST" AND THE MESSAGE
WAS ADDRESSED TO YOU ONLY!!!!!!!!!!!!! - I notice that was the
only part of my message you did not copy back.
Recently a lister replied to you - Way to go girl - and you did
not complain.
Added to that you don't know about carrots - that's where the
confusion started.
