hi,
i would say you learned more than you realize...
**>> Seriously I have and will learn more from books and visiting here.
**
you may learn that you are lucky, knowledgeable and
gifted to learn from text...most people aren't able to...
you may have also learned that (we) you can't hold
the same expectations on the bonsai club as you hold
on the international community via the internet...
they are different entities and need to have their own
guidelines to judge them by...
after all...your little town club won't have the diversity and
experience that the internet can bring you...we can chat
across countries with no boundaries...
---------
....you learned a lot about what you DON'T like...
a negative role model is just as powerful as
a positive one...so...take to heart what you experienced
then visit again searching for what you can GIVE to THEM,
then, maybe, you can see what they can GIVE to YOU...
smiles,
alicia
