Once again an execellent way to drive home a point Mr. Al...You did this really well, almost too well...I don't think most "back yarders", as some are so fond of referring to those that do bonsai as a hobby, really go to quite this extreme in their thinking and practice of bonsai...But as Will pointed out it is a fine example of satire...
Execellent choice of photos also...{sarcasm}I am certainly glad that I have not posted my 'hobby trees' or the ones I consider artistic to the forum...They might have been used as examples in this article{/sarcasm}...
I think you have missed your calling...In my opinion, you should establish a new business; 'Ad discriptions for e-bay banzai sellers'...Of course the nym 'Banzai-Al' is perfect for your new business...
Keep up the great work of creating these thought provoking articles...Gives one real 'food for thought'...These are a nice addition to your helpful 'how-to' articles...
Regards
Behr
