I think that this is one of the best threads that we've had on the 
list in a long time. Thanks MB for starting it !
Here's an opportunity for those who want to learn a litte more about
selfing and many other aspects of AG genetics.

I am combining Nic Welty's gentics presentation from the 2002 Niagara
Seminar and the 2001 Pacific Northwest Seminar on AG genetics on to one
video tape (2 hrs. 40 min). Both speakers at the PNWGPG Seminar were
from Oregon State University. Lots of good info.

10 copies of this video will be available for the ridiculous price of
five dollars (plus $2 for the bubble mailer and postage). Total of 7
bucks.

This is a fairly technical video (particularly the 2 hr. 10 min.
Northwest segment). If you are interested contact me at
PumbkinDude@sbcglobal.net George Webster Napa, Ca

p.s. - if you live in Europe, Australia or NZ the postage will cost
more.

Mark, that kinda the theme that is being said here...so shall I say were
on the same page.
