This made me chuckle. A lot of people would just say that's a nice bonsai. Afterall it is not a bad tree. And that's the standard quintessential bonsai pot. But I can't argue with what you said. You sir have an eye for quality.

I don't even go into the forums; I just click the New Posts button because it shows me everything that has been updated since my last visit. Just a thought.
Tex,
Smoke and I have met. I showed that tree in Oakland last January at the Bay Island Bonsai show, and Smoke and his lovely wife came up to see the show.
Smoke was giving me a poke in the ribs, and since he was in a pissy mood, I thought he might enjoy the opportunity to do so.
By the way, he WISHES he had a JBP of that quality!
Of course, there are faults in any tree. That's one of the cool things about this hobby. No matter how good a tree gets, we can always "make it better"!
And, for what it's worth, I WISH I had some tridents of equal quality as Smke's!

Fair warning... I got something out of the wine cellar tonight. This time I know what it is: 1975 Chateau LaTour a Pomerol.
Good stuff. Acidic, astringent, still a little closed. Deep dark red, with rich tannins. Still has a long life ahead. That is, the other bottles!

I like the box stuff it has a spigot. Show me a fancy french Bordeaux with a spigot
I tried to use one of those new dangled gadgets where you push a needle down thru the cork, and then it pumps compressed air into the bottle, so it forces the cork out like a champagne cork.
But it pushed the cork in!
So I resorted to using a regular old corkscrew. And lo and behold, it worked!

Tex, if you visit the Burgandy wine cellars, they'll offer you a taste of their wine straight from the cask. That's a great big wooden barrel. With a spigot.
I dunno about the Bordeau cellars.

Maybe Smoke could start a "Tree Flaws" thread where you post your tree and he points out the flaws. I think it would fun and instructive.

I guess you have a new use for the nut sack. A couple strokes on the needle with the nut sack should let that needle go right in. I have a couple of those and they do work well. I have an ahh-so also and hate it.

Looks like this morphed into something other than the original post lol but just to add something to the original post...
Smoke.... I've ran/been the admin on two different fly tying / fly fishing forums for the past 11 years now. Very popular forums, we have over 44,000 members on the one. And each month I look over the stats for the site and see the same thing. 70% + of all page views on my sites are in the general forum. So I think it works the same here too. When there's tons of sub-forums on a site, people just click on the most active sections like the general sections because they don't have time to click all sections. Just like on this site, bonsia-nut...there's what, 43 sections? IF a member read 1 minute worth of each section, thats almost 45 minutes of reading for the whole site once through, most people wont do that. So members will post where their posts will be seen easily. So members somewhat know that, so they post in that section because they know it will get the most as well as quickest replies.
Just what I have learned from running sites is all.

Whats the point you want to say actually, that its ok because there is an excuse?
The point was (and i agree) that its difficult to search for threads if they are not correctly placed. Perhaps you get more views initially in the general forum but it will last much longer, make much more sense and more helpfull if placed correctly.
And i believe most people press "new posts"on short visit to the site to check and loosing too much time, so it doesnt matter which forum its placed then,
but for the long run, if you want your post to last it must be placed in correct place.
