IBC is infact the initials for the Internet Bonsai Club.
But there isn't too much bonsai done there. A lot of ego, and some bonsai maybe. I was there for a few years but gave it up (or was chucked off, depending on the current swing of what happened)
I guess one could learn a few bonsai things on that list but mostly one learns the true meaning of frustration.
But then maybe my experience was not the norm. I could have been the disruption. Been known to be one on occasion ;o(
I still have a lot of friends on that list and we still communicate privately. There is just something about the initials "IBC" that stirs things up. Makes things a bit meaner.
I am a lot happier now that I am off that list. And I have learned a lot since I came to this one. At least here the list manager knows something about bonsai. But then you guys are quite nice also. A discussion here is much better than the arguments of IBC.
But you will have to make up your own mind about it. I am after all a bit biased.
