Maurice,
Excellent comment! I was a bit taken aback when I first saw Doug's statement summarily dismissing everything as "junk". I've steered well clear of the arguments either for or against BH out of fear as being labeled as a "commericalist" or god forbid as a "promoter". While I'll be the first to admit that the science behind how it works hasn't been presented clearly or cohesively, somehow this "junk" is responsible for raising hundreds of millions of yen worth of koi.
Now about the jumbo tosai, that's a subject I'm not shy on commenting on. What you may find for sale near you may not always be the ideal or to your liking, it's not very rational to relegate a whole line to being rubbish, especially when what you
may have seen locally is but only a tiny fraction of the whole.
Seio was bought as jumbo tosai...would any of you call her "junk" even post-mortem? :wink:
