           Dear John, Roger and all,
           Comments about "appealing to the YL's interest" with reference to
shining kitchens, bathroom deoderants and anti-static Cling Free do nothing
for those of us YLs who are interested in contesting (and we ARE reading the
reflectors), and could be construed as condescending.  Surely you want to
encourage, not discourage, YL participation. On the other hand, Chili recipes
and food concerns with regard to contest menus would be interesting to see on
the contest reflector ...

 Hi John and all,
 
 I thought that topics that dealt with anti-static Cling-Free went a long
 way in appealing to the YL's interest.  And, shining aluminum was just as
 important in the kitchen as it is on the tower. Now if memory serves...
 Easy-Off was mentioned too.  I think the only thing we haven't discussed
 yet was bathroom deodorants and recipes for CHILLI.
 
 Roger, K2JAS
