Please, gentlemen. "O Freunde, nicht diese Worte!"
At this point, I think it is time to praise our faithful far-northern
correspondent Michael (H.) a bit for his contributions.
I really appreciate your help with _P.villosa_ (which has made its way to
California and Japan, already; well, this does not save the rain-forest
either, but...), and _Euphrasia_ (and yes, I *am* happy I did not need to
pay for it!).
I do understand your attitudes towards free exchange, and I do share a lot
of them. Unfortunately, some growers (especially those who have invested
some time, $$, and efforts in propagation) are not content with the rather
immaterial satisfaction of having helped a fellow enthusiast. But I fear we
cannot change this in the near future (we should not wait for the wiser
race; life is too short...).
SUMMA: We may not agree completely, but we have still much more in common
than some recent messages would reveal.

What do you think should I have to permit? This does not sound like liberty
of research and science, does it? It is not my intention to cause trouble
for anyone. Please tell me if I do. In this case, I will try to change it.
(Yes, I have realized the ":-)")
Kind regards
