Default Seeds...

I have been and am a member of seedsavers. That is old news. You missed
the whole point, but that isn't surprising. There are many redeeming
factors about exchanging seeds with individuals. Establishing networks of
real individual people with like minded goals is mutually rewarding, not to
mention how seeds and plant varieties can move across the planet. I can't
tell you how many times I've sent a self addressed, stamped envelope along
with seeds to someone who has a mutual interest, and received seeds in
return. I had a wonderful friend in Russia that sent tomato seeds in
return for some habanero pepper seeds. Stated quite simply, it's fun and
rewarding, plus, you make a friend...someone you can compare gardening
successes and failures with through online correspondence and pictures. How
terrible is that?
I'm sure I'm violating some "rule" or "law", but if I lived my life being
concerned about that, I would never leave my house for fear my government
might take me away. I choose not to live like that.

Somehow, from previous posts I've read from you it isn't surprising that
you
would prove my point in my original post regarding the "seed police". I
won't waste my time reading that crap. Where there's a will, there's a
way.
Boy, we wouldn't want to step outside the line now would we? Some little
brownshirt might be hiding in the bushes to wag their little finger and
say....."that is not allowed!"
get a life...

Aw, come on, I was just funnin' ya, as Lyndon used to like to say.
At least we are still at the "Brown Shirt" stage, and haven't
matriculated up to the "Black Shirts", yet.
