Why not go all the way Vance and just say that buying a decent mallsai would be a qualifier for telling someone that they know nothing about bonsai. I mean keeping a tree alive for a year.. come on, many box stores will even give you another tree if you kill it a year later with a reciept. How much lower does the bar have to go to keep the antics of Will in the fold?
Not believeing what he is reading again...Al
What on earth makes you think any of the above had anything at all to do with Will Heath? Hey, you don't like Will's articles don't read them and most certainly don't comment on them.
You have been around long enough, even before Will came along, to remember some of the discussion/disagreements I have had with a few others over this issue. This even goes back to the Bonsai Forum Days; or do you choose to not remember?
It has even came to a point when I have suggested that someone show me theirs and I would show them mine that I received pages of nasty accusations from a few that are still around ---and still don't post pictures.
As to the year qualifier: I added that for the sake of some (and there have been some) that don't even own a bonsai. I didn't want someone saying that time doing bonsai was of no importance; I've heard that one too. These individuals have come on a site suggesting how some should grow their trees when they themselves don't have a single tree; and never have.
Before another embarrassing remark is spit out without thought, Will does have trees, quite a few trees, I have seen them, held them, and carried them; I have even helped work on them at times. You may not like Will, that's your problem, but you cannot say he has no trees and does not do bonsai. Sadly for Will some of you out there will not accept anything from him short of a masterpiece. Too bad others don't hold themselves to the same standard or anyone else save Will.
