Re: Seed collection

        I thought I would share a view I am starting to agree with from one of the big boys I've been emailing back and forth with.  He said that this is profiting from the generosity of other growers and not to forget the legalities of Howard Dill and Family.  Like he said,  they give the seeds out of kindness, not for someone to profit from it.  It's an insult to the growers generosities.  If other people with seed collections start doing this than the generosities from the growers will cease and the only seed given out will be amongst the big boys.  Forget the little people.  
        Now my point:  If it wasn't for the generosity of other growers,  Mark would not have this collection of seeds.  I could understand if he was asking for the best price for any seeds he actually purchased, that would be legal,  moral?  To profit from the generosity of other growers, now that in my opinion is not morally right.  I'm sure that a lot of the growers, that out of the generosity in their heart gave Mark seeds are pretty upset and disappointed.  I know this to be true because he received seeds from this grower I've been talking with.  It's a slap in the face to these growers.
        Let's all just keep agreeing that what Mark S. is doing is just fine,  then we will all see the seeds given to us from growers cease.
        Forget the legalities, soon people will be getting seeds,  not to grow,  but to collect to see which ones in the future are of any value.  Than sell them for the best price.  Hmmm,  ticket scalping/seed scalping, at least the ticket scalpers purchased the tickets.
