Great idea. Do you have anybody for South Africa? If not, I would be willing to cover this area. Folks, no need to "volunteer." Just DO it. ;-) Jim Lewis - - Tallahassee, FL - The phrase 'sustainable growth' is an oxymoron. - Stephen Viederman ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Lisa Kanis++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?

You know, FWIW I think the list works just fine as it is. Why -assign-
thing to any of us. We see something come in, we respond. Local folks usually know what works best in their climate/area, and if we see something a little -off- in the reply, then someone else chimes in with their two cents. What's to fix? We do good just like we are. Don't we? Just my .02. Regards, Shelly Hurd Central CA - Sunset Zone 8-USDA Zone 9 writes: Folks, no need to "volunteer."

Discuss the art, styling techniques, maintenance and care, etc., and then refer these individuals to local practitioners for information on how a particular species is managed within the context of a particular environment. In the end, we are speaking the language of ART. This, my friends, is not unique to a particular continent. It is the universal language of the world, and bonsai is a part of it. As Jim said, just do it. |

Absolutely right Shelly .... If it ain't broke, don't mess with it.
I'm a newbie with less than a years experience under my belt. When I've asked a question, I've received responses from all over the world. Everyone of them have improved my understanding. Hopefully within a few years I'll be able to help others, but at the moment I'm lurking in the corners, cramming my head full of knowledge. Keep up the good work everyone ..... I'd hate to see this format change. And Jim .... Thanks for making this group an enjoyable experience.

What's to fix is that the list will go away of there
isn't a Jim replacement. I agree that the help parts of the list do take care of themselves.

It's unfortunate that someone continued this thread (newbie help) under this title (the list). The list is going to be around. In the gawdawful writing style that I used to have to edit: Choices have been made, training is being undertaken, and announcements are being planned.

G'day all...
Jim said (something like this):"…The IBC has survived as virtual anarchy for a lot of years now. And, as they say in my neck of the world: 'Wall, Bubbah, iffen it ain't broke, I ain't gonna bother fixin' it.' Roscoe, MBA, University of Florida…" Doesn't our "organization" work well? Let's leave campartmentalization (words can get tooo big, can't they?) and niches to the business world. I had more than enough of that before retirement! Sure would be a bad scene if it were "IBCally incorrect" for me in Arizona to expect to have a chance to hear from Jim L...Alan W...Reiner G...Shelly H...Nina S...Anita H...Michael P...Colin L...Dale C...the Brits...the Aussies...ond on, and on, and on...just because I fit into a different geographical compartment. Geographical location obviously is very important to the cultivation of bonsai, and to that end, I think we should encourage EVERY BODY to tag a geo location to his/her signature. 'Nuff said...
