I do ficus along a great many other trees. I do not feel limited to just one specie.
Hopefully you are not saying that people that do ficus are a bunch of louts. The do make up a large portion of my clientele. I certainly don't think that they are morons for liking ficus.
BTW you did have to go way back for this one didn't you ;o)

Frankly, Ron, it's amazing how carefully one has to spell things out for you.
But here, let's try.
Ficus is just an arbitrary choice of something that I don't grow. I could have used serissa or bald cypress or eucalyptus or whatever. I have nothing against ficus or the people who grow them. Some of my best friends grow ficus. Etc., etc., etc.
So, when I wrote

I don't do ficus, but I don't go posting this sort of thing to every thread about ficus. Ron, why do you post this sort of thing to every thread about art?

this is what I was saying:
You have said many times that you don't do "art talk", but in every thread about art talk, you have to go and somehow butt in and denigrate the entire discussion.
I don't grow ficus but I see absolutely no need to interrupt every ficus thread by saying that growing ficus is pointless.
If you don't do art talk (or if you don't do "art", for that matter), why not just leave well enough alone and let other people talk about it without constantly trying to disrupt their conversations?
Best regards,
