I'll take that as a compliment. :-)

My initial goal was simply to come up with an alternative to the fussy
purebred
JIs while retaining the gracefulness and beauty of the species. I want the
plants but I don't have the water or the rich soil.

I get a real kick out of hearing that Linda Mann's JI-type plants are doing
well in her gravelly TB bed or that Rodney Barton's start of a JI-type is
putting out 5 branches in spite of the TX weather. That JI look-a-likes can
do well in the alkali soil at my folks' place just tickles me.

It's a bonus if I can encourage other hybridizers to think for themselves
instead of blindly accepting as fact only what's been published.
