Thanks Jur for the lesson!
Did I say not to waste time? I wonder what I meant. I wish I could convince my siblings to help me do bonsai, too!
With your permission, I would like to reformat this thread as an article like we did with

Let me know - I think it would make the article even more accessible because the search engines pick up well on pages laid out like this.
Thanks & regards,
Matt
