[IBC] the IBC on Bonsaitalk
 

List readers might be interested in how the IBC is perceived elsewhere.
A list refugee and a few others are discussing the IBC in this thread.
I'd recommend it as interesting reading. I'm holding forth for the
IBC. The perception is that it is a list for "professionals and
semi-professionals" as one person put it. I was quick to point out that
I'm neither, being in bonsai for only 4 years and a minister by
profession. I'd be curious about anyone's thoughts. Don't just dismiss
this as a bunch of whiners who have sticks in pots. A number of IBC
people post there as well including Walter Pall, Carl Rosner, etc.

I think once a list gets over a certain number of members, it gets
unwieldy. There must be some reason why our list stays at 500. There's
probably some fixed ratio of posters and lurkers that allows a tolerable
climate for discussion.

I imagine you can only have 10-15 egotists per list, and we've got our
quota, so superfluous egotists have to migrate to new territories and set
up new colonies.

Colonizing egotists! Well, Bonsaitalk has it's share of them, and some are
on the IBC list too.

No egotists allowed in this colony!

Very astute, Nina. It's entirely possible that you are the glue that holds
us together.

Craig,

Most of the posts also mention the high quality of the trees posted on the
IBC and most of the people regarly look at it. They do not post there for
the reasons you mention, but have a high opinion of it. I don't think that
there's a need for you to be "holding forth for theIBC"

regards, René
