I'm reading that as placating and sarcastic, but given the fact that Ekka and several other's use "cartoon characters" as well, I'll take that as a compliment TreeVet! Thanks
Why've you gotta make things personal? You trying to compensate for something? If I can look back in 10 years and see that I haven't "sold out", I'd be pretty happy with my life. You'll notice that there are several other people around TreeWorld who haven't chosen your course, does that make them stupid untrained youngsters who haven't figured it out yet?
I can understand you attacking my technique. But you can't seem to stick to that, or having a difference of opinion without attacking my age, my experience, my IQ? Next thing I know you'll be saying that I have poor grammar, unschooled vocabulary and a poor choice of girlfriends!!!
I see you didn't deny "selling out" or "using gaffs while pruning".

"Subsequently", I suppose having a nice home and good equipment isn't necessarily a sign of good ethics or character.
