Dear List:

It's hard to improve on the sentiments expressed by Stephen Sadler's email.

While he was diplomatic in his summary, let me be more direct. I think this thread has moved PAST the point of being contentious.

I fully commend the sentiments of those who want to do something to help, and like a multitude of other Americans, I have made a cash donation to an established charity to assist in disaster relief. Under the current circumstances, assistance is probably best coordinated through established organizations, including the organization cited by Doreen Howard. Each person can decide for himself/herself what is the best means of helping in this situation.

For this topic, and a general rule for future posts, posts of a political flavor have the double fault of contributing NOTHING regarding the culture of fruit, while almost certainly angering SOME of the readers of this list, who presumably did NOT come here for political commentary.

While I realize that people will have reactions to intense events such as Hurricane Katrina, please don't share your "go ahead with your thoughts, caller" comments on this list. There are a gazillion sites on the web that deal in those subjects. Not here.

GREG MILLER
