I don't think a 'time limit' is the motive.
Remember two years ago when the Denver Guest Plants were
offered for sale on this list ---'98 intros going for $4? Many people
fell for that one, and that was the most unethical deed ever
performed on this list. AIS has since corrected this problem, and I
am glad they saw the hybridizers' point of view. How many times
did that person post? Only enough times to get the plants sold?
Is he still posting today? It's the motive!
Fortunately, there has been very little of this, and we should be
thankful.
JIJ, thank you. We know you cannot monitor every post, but
you were up on this one! Thanks, too, for stripping away all the
fatal attachments. Now, if Lairis would do that, I would go back!
