It is the few trees, and people, who are open to all thoughts for the sake of learning that really keep us going. Those are quite few.

Most people would rather argue about "what is a bonsai master" for the 1000th time or gripe about "newbie stubbornness" than invest the time to think about a tree someone posts and offer thougthful comments or virts. I get it, it's way easier to spout off about the former topics and it's really easy to say "great tree" when someone posts a truly great tree. But most threads get little in the way of response so people stop posting trees.
