no reason really, but you know how the individual trouble maker comes by every 6 months or so and makes trouble, well that happened last year with the lowrie list, i hate to bring it up...
That is not entirely accurate Spec
Last years argument was not so much an argument about Lowrie as it was a personality conflict between some people.
The arguments that usually spark over Lowrie are from the rumor that most of his tuber stock somes from wild collection and that his seeds are rarely viable because they have been kept in storage for so long (i.e. he never throws out seed that is a year or more old.)
As Suzanne said, a civil discussion on the matter is allowed but if mud slinging or slander shows up then we Mods will do what we must do. So if you wish to say something along the lines of:
'Every time I order seed from Lowrie I never get germiantion. Does anyone else have this problem?'
That is fine. However, if you say:
'Lowrie suck!!! His seed never germinates, he is just ripping people off to make a quick buck! I hate him and I don't think anyone should order from him!!'
That would not be acceptable.
You see the first one is inviting discussion where as the second is nothing more than a screaming and is just blatanly rude and uncalled for.
Make sense?
Oh, and Spec I have his contact info I'll PM it to you tomorrow
