I even compiled a complete list using Wordpefect for ready reference. I thought it would be fun to create a poll.

If you count publications like Bonsai Today, International Bonsai and several others from time to time I would count hundreds. It is interesting that you noticed my attempts to point the importance of foundation reading. At least someone noticed it's like everyone else on that post is playing like I am not even there. This kind of thing does not bode well for where we are going either in bonsai or other fields of endeavor. Thanks John.
