I actually snip the extra seedlings off with small embroidery scissors.

I think this is a real clever idea, and an effective use of recycled material!
seed dispensers are less that $10 and a real help for me.
I used to use a piece of folded paper and that was effective but still I
would get heaps of small seeds (like chives) in one pot.
I now put 2-3 seeds per pot and do seed exchange with the rest.
There is an excellent seed exchange board at
http://www.gardenweb.com/forums/exseed/
but of course there are heaps of them on the net now..isn't the internet great??
Yep I'm in Orygun and yep it's usually very rainy but lately, for the
past few days at least, we have been sunny and it's been great.
Take care
