I agree with the 10 seconds of research point but I don’t like the idea of a public shout out all the time. I’m not sure why, and I’m not opposed to it, but I just feel that private transactions should remain private.
Also when I get shout outs it’s often followed by unsolicited requests for seeds which I don’t like.
Fair point, I do not send much so have no idea of that kind of consequences.
Didn’t mean everything should always be public neither 
It’s against the ToS but if it’s somebody I know DMing me then it doesn’t bother me and I’m happy to oblige it’s when people with zero rep see that I give out seeds that it gets annoying.
Yeah I never ask in DM anything to anyone I don’t have a connection with already. Otherwise that’s just annoying people.
Your giving out seeds. Gimme. Gimme gimme. Oh wait I got some, that is why I stopped by this thread. Thanks @wizdom , again.
“fold my poster tiny hamster” was my take
Has anyone grown theirs out yet??
If you are talking about the seeds recovered by Wizdom, there hasn’t been enough time to get them out of the seedling stage.
Oh okay so literally none had gone out prior to this “saving grace” so to speak . . .? Got it. Wasn’t sure
Gotta say this is beautiful artwork. @Soiltech great illustration and design!
I appreciate that.
That is unfortunately a definite byproduct of those callouts. I get many of those PMs, quite a few with the “this is the first time such and such has posted, let’s welcome them” message above their post. Most of those folks tend to dissappear quickly which is a good thing. Never got the idea of walking into a room with a stranger and having your hand out.
Gimme all your seeds!
Gimme that booze, ya pumpkin pie headed freak!
That’s very mean!
I get DM’s often and I’m not a vocal as @DougDawson or @Foreigner .
I can’t imagine…
If I haven’t had previously interacted with you and your just asking for seeds… chances are nope! But if I’ve had interacted with you what I have I give freely !
That’s @Soiltech. Love it too!
You were the obvious and easy example
I don’t think we’ve met already… 
I just ignore them but it is annoying. I also tend to do giveaways in dark alleys, not the free seeds thread because that thread brings out the element in question.
Do you have a long trench coat as well?
You may have anything I’ve made that tickles your fancy.
Seee…!!
