Default pumpkin, squash and gourd seeds (coming true)

I assume that the seeds will all come true if I plant them next year. Or am

Well, they don't (always) cross between branches of famiglia cucurbita, but
within their own, well let's say "easy virtue" is an understatement. If
this weren't the polite and refined newsgroup we love, I'd go for "wantonly
licentious hedonists." Chances is that the seeds will produce interesting
offspring. I could tell you tales of an apparently demure spaghetti squash
plant for instance...
