Re: [AGA-sc] Update? (fwd)

Agreed.  While I want to help things along, it seems to me like these guys 
should be able to at least find some plants amongst their members -- after 
all, wasn't Jeff Kropp bragging about how they have all these great 
growers and big free plant swaps?  Maybe we will have to dip into a bit of 
the auction stock last minute, but let's not plan it that way and give 
SFBAAPS yet one more reason to blow something off.
