@Horntoad - thank you. Your post is reassuring.
I do hope that something I've done or said has made an impact beyond simply bringing up the idea of a seed swap. There were already seed swaps going on in the Plant and Seed Trade and I know Dave had mentioned that he's been wanting to do one, so it's easy for me to feel like all I did was wave my hands around and make it a slightly bigger deal a little earlier than it might otherwise have been. Not all that I had hoped for.
I'm trying not to feel that way. Your words are kind and encouraging, though, and do a good part to lift my spirits.
Thank you.
