hmmmm, the businessman who leaves the problem of costs to the customers is overlooking the principles of price elasticity 
ie. its all well and good until you realise you need to charge £500 per 10 seeds and sell 10k of them to recover your costs. (numbers exagerated to prove the train of thought)

I know a guy who was convinced that humans first came from Scandinavia, spent all his sinse dough trying to prove it too. It didn't pan out. But if for a second you think that is some hole in my thinking that might give me pause I would politely suggest you think again.
ok, I'll take my hat off to ya if you're saying that you are going to use your time and cash to do this, purely for the enjoyment and achievement of doing it. I hope you share some details once you've worked them out. I don't agree with your statement that you create 2 true breeding lines though. If you start with a standard diploid, and try to re-create it, once you have achieved that, given the misgivings I have just stated, I still only see 1 line. Where is the other? Unless you are talking about selfing the 2 newly created P1s. In which case it could be argued 3 lines I guess. But still you don't have any males in the mix, given your insistance that anything bred should be able to survive in the wild, how do you see this situation?
No correction, I'm wrong, the re=created F1 wouldn't be true breeding would it, under any definition, I see only the P1s would be

You 2 ever meet in real life? sounds like you would get along quite nicely!
First two pages, great info by Mofeta. I'm not following the last page at all, but hello Tom, anyone that knows your work that I have come across loves your work. Which has led to my interest in deep chunk and monkey balls. Keep up the good work.
I also wanted to ask people with good scientific books-- do you have PDF versions and/or links to scribd versions? My background is not in plant botany or plant biochemistry or statistics, but rather chemistry, physics (u. grad), and engineering. I would say what engineering but I would rather not provide information that helps identify myself.
My point being, I probably can pick up a graduate level text and get up to speed very quickly. I also have a few years growing experience and have more recently started my own home biotech experiments, with mixed results.
I'm looking for good resources outside what is easily found via search. Thanks in advance.

This post gave me shivers.
My brother Stoxx,
I come from a long line of engineers, math men, back before we felt the need to separate them, you want a rocket, a bridge? Name your poison says the math guy. All of this is simple statistics/probability, a light lunch for a student of calculus where he may be asked to accept that .9999, barred, = one. You sold your age out, thinking type of engineer had relevance, that was just some bs way to spread out your academia into many jobs.
Waded through it? Good, Bos and Caligari's "Selection Methods in Plant Breeding" is my favorite text currently on the market. you'll have to pay to separate yourself from the pack cheap chalie mofo looking for free crap, but hey, then we'll have someone to talk to.
