Some of you may have forgotten what it's like to be new in this hobby.
Let
me try to refresh your memory.

snip of lots of real bonsai stuff

Hi John,

No one here has forgotten any of this, of course, because what you've
detailed is what just about all of us do every year, no matter how long
we've been working with bonsai. Almost nothing of what you detailed is
specific to beginners. The only part you got wrong is that it often takes
much less time than most imagine to have good trees - if you really work at
it instead of finding ways to justify not working at it.

Kind regards,
