Jay, pootsie, and all....Will are you there?
In a way I'm gald that they got this gift. Unfortuantly it was for you (already a novitiate).
Jack Wikle, a well know master of mame and the past president of ABS (and a friend of mine) once said to me: "Vance if it was not for the hobbist who spends just under $40 a year on this, we would not be here". He was referring to our clubs, symposiums, National Bonsai foundation, etc.
I know it's an insult to bonsai, but just as the others have said: "Heck this is how I got here..." (well in my case it was well before mallsai and such..but you ain't gonna get that date outta me!)
As others have said: "let it go".
