No, I've just paid attention when it came up and have done a bit of it
around the garden myself.

Plant cloning is old stuff, just take a cutting, dip it in rooting hormone
and that is pretty much it, but the newest techniques can start with much
smaller pieces of treens and produce millions of cloned "supertrees".
Actually, you can often get something to grow roots just by putting the
cutting in water, but it is much slower. Modern cloning technolgy produces
many more clones much faster from the same amount of original plant
tissue.

Take a trip up the coast, it isn't a pretty site.

You don't have to follow the rules you want others to obey?

Actually, I'm cited as a contributor to the net.legends faq, not as a
subject. I'd be happy to nominate you as a new subject for an updated
version if you wish. You're not quite in the same league as some of the
USA wannabes currently contending for kook of the month or though you seem to
share some of their traits.

BTW, the EU is telling Bush baby to take a hike with his plan to trash the
Kyoto Accord. Without control of the Senate he'll have a hard time
delivering the payoff to his backers.
