Ridecamp: Re: [RC] Skrownek

    This is what an old breeder (of dogs) told me one time about
"linebreeding" and "inbreeding" and I thought it was hilarious.

    * It's " Linebreeding " if  I do it.....  It's " Inbreeding " if  you do
it!
    * It's " Linebreeding " if it works.... It's " Inbreeding " if it
doesn't!
