Is not display stands and placing them properly also an art form? I think Al thinks anything not pertaining to exactly what he wishes to talk about is unnecessary.


Will, you seem to think I signed up on this forum yesterday. I have been through this whole art mess years ago. I went thru this with Andy Rutledge in 2001 and years beffore that on another forum. I am on the "exact" same page as you are. What you are missing is that this art thing will always be met with resistance, Why make a big deal out of it. Continue to do your work, share it with others, reinforce when necessary and move on.

Unless of course you enjoy the fray and find this as entertaining as I do, then by all means keep it up, I will be here for ya.

BTW, I think Jim was referring to "the Art of Bonsai project " when he mentioned another forum. Remember you will get no argument there This place boasts many points of view, the main reason I felt no need to go anywhere else. Even with all the hullabaloo, there are those that will get it. Heck, even BadByte managed to get it inspite of this forum

Check my posts, from collecting, to accents, to Mame, to bonsai, one thing I do is post Al. I also write a lot of articles here and on other forums, I chime in with advice on subjects I know and do what I can for the forums I belong to. I volunteer at my club, maintain their web page, and throw in a few fictional humorous stories to lighten up the mood occasionally. I have 120 trees in various stages of development and 500 pines in the ground....


Carefull Will, I know there are some shifty charcaters here that may call this "gardening".
