The other part of the answer was that SSE some time ago moved away from being a 'distributive democracy' and started accruing and started competing commercially with small seedsmen around the US.

Cometition on that level will be good for business for all the small seedsmen
many of whom depend on sales of small seed packets at a high price to home
gardeners.

And then, I must ask this: it is my understanding that Kent will still have 'control' of the external SSE exchange network. If that is the case, is there any need or reason for us to start a new one?

If it will help Kent keep that network together then it will be a good thing
to do. We could
provide significant support for what he is doing instead of trying to build a
competing network.
