Oh, I agree.

Suggestions are just wind-blown pollen. Few pollen grains ever become seeds!

And we can always find ways to tickle someone's seed fancies if we work at it.

Another oddball thought I had was offering a "U2U" service in some swap. Say there are 20 people signed up as swap participants. Say someone else, outside the swap, WOULD HAVE traded or given something to 3 of those members, IF postage were three times cheaper.

If I offered to forward small baggies from any ATP member to swap members, size of box permitting, it wouldn't cost me anything other than transferring a small baggie from one mailer to an outgoing swap box.

Their savings would come from sending me just one bubble mailer, but having things forwarded to 3 different members at the end of the swap (probably in a Small Flat Rate Priority Box. (SFRPB?)

If that happened to cause a half-dozen more people to actually join eventually, and offer their seeds, or even to start collecting and saving seeds next year ... where's the harm in that?
