Ah, but it's not *linebreeding* that is causing the problem,
it's linebreeding to that particular individual.  That's an
important distinction, in my book. :)

As others have said, linebreeding/inbreeding does not *cause*
things, it only increases the probability of seeing the traits
that the individual being linebred *to* may have had.

Common sense should also be a part of the decision making process. If you
see someone who doesn't have any, hand them your tool box.
