What I am aware of is this: while my zeal for bonsai has increased over the years, my zeal for BT has decreased. The articles of the post-Palmer era do not have the level of technical depth as before. I could work on an old BT for a week. Now, an issue last me a couple of hours and leaves me wondering why there is more content yet it feels like SO MUCH LESS.

If it was up to the standard of the old days, Wayne wouldn't have to pump-up how more pages of content have been added. No doubt he realizes that the change in format will have critics. Too bad.

The translations, image layouts, photographic quality have all improved under Wayne. But I can't help feeling like the magazine is becoming a catalog that I have subscribed to.

Kind regards,
Jim
