L.B.
  You mean you never picked up a couple hundred pepper seeds with a pair of
tweezers and sanded the edges to help prevent the dreaded "cotyledons
interuptus" ?
After loosing a very small percentage of pepper embryos because the first
set of leaves "stuck" in the seed shell (even with soaking) I start sanding
the seeds around Jan. 2nd. Needless to say, my family thinks I'm nuts also.
