Not picking on you OSHO, but you see this more and more of late, but with this attitude everyone that takes any cute, adorable, interesting (whatever lable you may want to put on it) material can be a master, if they work on it for years and like it as art( defined by?).

My issue with this is typically everyone will see some classical Bonsai whether it be pictures or the real thing, become interested and decide to dive in. Then for what ever thier personal reason is ( lack of money, lack of local club, lack of a car- the list goes on) go against the centuries old "rules" , get a few people to say hey it doesn't matter how you approach it as long as it's what you want to do. But this is a bonsai forum and it's because we want to persue, forward the "art", and my question back is this - Is it a bonsai, or is it a "interesting" tree in a bonsai pot.

I am not saying that there aren't a lot of nice plants out there wothy of admiration, but where do they fit in the grand scheme?
