Fused seedlings - known phenomenon?

[garden381]

well farmer's daughter that's amazing I didn't have one in the seedlings.mine is on the top of the plant 3 feet above the ground and its 4 of them that are fused together. I find this very very peculiar but the plant is producing very large tomatoes

There's more that was said by both Steve and myself about his fused stem and conclusions made in this thread from The Photo Forum.

I can understand why some editing might have been done in this thread b'c the last few posts in the Photo Forum one had some anecdotal information about a few folks I knew in Norway and Steve giving me contact information, but it's the subject of those posts that's relevant, not the side notes after my name.
