Howard, I understand what you mean, but your post might lead an uninformed person believe that Weyerhaueser (and others) don't teach fundamentals. In fact, some have been doing so for years (Weyerhauser, in a series of Sunday lectures from May through September. And second Saturday lectures. The presentation on August 14th, 2004, for example, was Creating a Formal Bonsai Display.)
