What is proposed here is a matter of personal choice, and I think it's a 
legitimate use of the PBS forum. However, I find that people often 
request something I've mentioned at a time of year when shipping a 
dormant plant would be impossible, and I lose track of who has requested 
it by midsummer, when I could lift some. In addition, I have had 
requests for very rare or difficult plants that I've posted on the wiki, 
some of which I no longer have, and with regret I have to answer these 
too. (Please don't mention Crocus moabiticus to me again.)

It is also well to point out that when one has spent a good deal of 
energy and shipping expense to send plants, the recipient should not 
fail to follow through with a promised exchange.
