Seriously, tho, a LOT of informal seed gatherers, here and elsewhere, use the term "Open Pollinated" to mean just that: open to the wind and the weather and the busy-ness of the local insect life and yeah there may very well be another variety of the same plant nearby, so the seeds might have been cross-pollinated.

So, for clarity, do we need to stomp on those who use Open Pollinated to mean that, and insist that they use some other term? And if so, what should that term be? Or do we let the purists sort themselves out? I'm not trying to be snarky, I'm really a bit (make that a LOT) confused by the terminology on this issue.
Confidence is that feeling you have right before you do something really stupid.
