seems like a apples to oranges comparison to me
I posted my reply very late and didn't see your and VerdantGreen's posts.
Excuse me for getting you so nervous
I don't know what kind of experience you, guys, have but I think everyone can learn from Wikipedia or a simple search in Google. And you don't really need to get so upset unless you've done your homework
A simple search in Google gives this one - it's for doggies, since we get so upset by our botanic misunderstandings:

And by the way, I've found that good herb, inbred or not, makes me float above all these negative emotions and be able to clearly argue without all this ego stuff. I'm not here to feel negative emotions and I doubt anyone is. Cheers
I sensed frustration in Rick's posts and my post was directed to him.hi yoss, im not sure where you got the idea that i was either upset or being negative, but please accept my apologies if that was the impression you took from my posts. i agree that wikipedia is a useful tool but you have taken a general definition of inbreeding and applied it to botanics where it means something different. the fourth line from the wiki definition you used says
"In plant breeding, inbred lines are used as stocks for the creation of hybrid lines to make use of the heterosis effect. Inbreeding in plants also occurs naturally in the form of self-pollination."
now i totally agree that using large populations is important to preserve genetics and recessives, but that is a different discussion.
cheers
