I'm not going to try to check whether I've said this when you made similar 
statements--I'm just going to point out that it's not the inhumi's nature that's 
reptilian; it's their appearance.  They're nothing like Earth reptiles in their 
behavior.  And I see no discrepancy between reptilian appearance and external 
fertilization.  I see no reason evolution on Blue-Green should have gone the 
same way it did on Earth, no reason we have to adjust our ideas about them when 
we learn about their fertilization or even if they have some mysterious 
essential link to trees and vines.
