| I hate to sense negativity....Yes, I love this magazine as much as anyone and I definetely look forward to each issue. Please don't misunderstand my comments, but maybe we need to look at the big picture. For example
A while back i wrote an advertiser in a bonsai magazine about klika pots which i desparately wanted. No Answer. A week later I wrote again, no answer. So I wrote every week for 5 weeks, nothing came back and nothing was answered. I wrote the publisher and got a very simple answer back that humbled me..,.He was in a life and death struggle with a terrible illness. Some times we don't know why things happen....sometimes maybe it would be better not to know......
Maybe it's my advancing years but I've learned to not be so intense and focused on something that I have no control of. I'd rather focus on the excellent job Brian has done of working full time, raising a family and building his business on the side. That's very ambitious......
When you look at how far he's come, and the excellent magazine he';s produced ....I feel like we need to give the guy a little slack.
Think about what a gift this board is to each and every one of us. We learn more in one day exchanging knowledge than I ever did the first decade i was in koi.
I hope something I've said helps to put things in perspective, If I had a magic wand and could wave you the first issue i would....... |
