I had a few, almost subliminal, suspicions about Mr. Hudson, which were
centered around the fact that he seemed only to have an interest in messing
with the structure of AGA and its relations with the Krib, etc.  Nowhere,
did I see any evidence of interest in aquatic plants.  After what Eric has
said, it is clear that he is more interested in running things than in
growing things.
