While I am slightly embarrassed, I didn't realize until I read his comments
that Dave Green looked at his site as the basis of a commercial enterprise.
Honestly, I had only ever looked at Dave's considerable and interesting set
of photographs.  Perhaps if I had looked at the "pollination" portion of the
site I would have realized the commercial possibilities.

I certainly do not think that sites funded with public monies should
intentionally compete with private sites.  Moreover, the mere existence of a
site funded from public sources would deter further development of private
sites that might compete, and that is also not desirable.
