Great Informaton From Bonsai Experts
Hello,
I just finished a really amazing project, and I figured you would probably like to hear about it. I recently had the opportunity to interview not one, but two of the great Bonsai experts. I am sure that you will recognize their names. Walter Pall is a 27 year veteran of Bonsai trees. He travels all over the world giving talks and demonstrations. Peter Chan has been involved with bonsai trees since 1967. He is probably best known for his 5 best selling books including "Bonsai Masterclass" (his personal favorite) and is the co-founder of the famous "Heron's Bonsai Nursery", along with his wife Dawn. I was so excited about being able to have this chance, that I wanted to share it with as many people as possible. The information that both men reveal is priceless. Please feel free to share this recording with your other Bonsai friends. You can download the file by visiting this web page: http://www.bonsai-interviews.com/special Genuinely, Jerry |

I have a PC that I use solely for web and am willing to risk the odd offer
such as this. The site the link takes you to is one of those dreadful overblown sales pitches, this time selling the ancient secrets of bonsai growing. It turns out to be a poor quality audio recording of a sample from a series that is being sold. As such it breaches our No Advertising policy and the poster should be warned or banned. I wonder if Walter knew what he was being recorded for?

Jim Lewis - - Tallahassee, FL - Nature encourages no looseness, pardons no errors. Ralph Waldo Emerson Thank you Jim, sound advice as always. In this case, I think they are more mercantilist than malicious. I'd not be suprised if, after reading "make $$$ on the internet", the same message appeared on every newsgroup with bonsai or tree or plant in it's name FWIW: 'Jerry' posts from 216.250.37.3 d216-250-37-3.allwest.net via google Taking a closer look at our 'generous friend' The offer originates from a publishing company, Lacobo Publishing, LLC, located in Utah but the web site appears to be in AU, I guess the exchange rate is good Canonical name: www.bonsai-interviews.com Addresses: 203.89.205.174 Created on: 23-Jul-05 Looking at the site itself - it looks like typical 'junk mail on a web page' including hilited text, red check marked paragraphs with underlines and a 'special offer' that expires a midnight - hurry! hurry! No contact page, in fact nothing but the sale offer Orders processing takes you to http://3.nat4quilts.pay.clickbank.net/ at 67.139.254.134 and that's as far as I go. ("affiliate powered e-Commerce, worldwide" I'll take a pass on this one) bob PS: I'm cc:ing this to Lacobo Pub. to be hear their side but I'm voting to suspend their list priviledges pending review. |

Thanks, Bob and Kev -- braver than _I_ am. :-) The guy posted from Google Groups though the news group, so there's not a lot we can do to keep him off the mailing list. In Shelly's absence (temporary) if he-she-it posts again, I'll see to it that the stuff doesn't get passed on to the list (but with that kind of address, he just need to change it slightly to bypass that.) :-( I do wonder if Walter knew. Kev, why don't you pass the website addy on to Walter via a PM on the gallery?
