why would they go extinct? cuz BRODIE FARQUHAR rom the Star Trib said so! ;-)

Not only are there seed cones available from non-infected areas but I would also assume there are millions dormant in the ground just waiting for a fire or clear cut so they can germinate....pretty tuff to extinct a frickin plant!
