This individual deserves nothing from you. He/she sounds like a petulant
little child and, IMHO, should at the most be treated as such. Should I
flame you because you refused to sell such desirable plants to Canada? In
the first and _only_ place they are _your_ plants to do with as you wish. I
am sure that 99.99 % of the members of this list feel grateful that you
offered them up as you did.
Personally, I regret whatever circumstance has brought you to the decision
to reluctantly part with your treasured collection and commend you on the
manner in which you chose to carefully share your plants with others.
Kindest Regards,
Rand Nicholson
