Bart Thomas(deceased) Perpetual Novice Join Date: Jun-2003 Location: Bridgewater, NJ Country: United States USDA Zone: 6 AHS Heat Zone: 5 Posts: 1,367	Priorities Recently, there seems to have been a tendency for threads to get sidetracked with arguments between personalities. This is unfortunate and does not speak well for our on-line community. Perhaps we could expend some of this energy in responding to inquiries on the board which seem to be going neglected. Please!

These esoteric debates about the meaning of bonsai (etc.) have made more enemies than friends. __________________ "Success demands understanding"-Andy Rutledge Charles Bevan Vero Beach, Fl

Please!

I would have posted an answer to this thread, but I was too busy arguing with Will.

Join Date: May-2004 Location: Ocean Springs, MS Country: USA USDA Zone: 8b AHS Heat Zone: 8-9 Posts: 462	This doesn't mean that I am going to actually have to go outside and work on my trees does it? They won't be happy about that.

Jay YOU CAN NOT RUSH TIME Join Date: Sep-2001 Location: Jeffersonville Vt Country: USA USDA Zone: 4 AHS Heat Zone: 3 Posts: 2,154	Bart, well said. We have found it easier to sidetrack a thread on what is basically a non bonsai issue. Not a good thing. It is one thing to highjack a thread or take it off on a tangent if it is a bonsai related issue.... but for other reaons is not exceptable.... I am trying the 'ignore list' option available to us for at least one of our membership.... it may be worth it, or not... time will tell.
