You know, this kind of behavior isn't much different than the stuff he's been trying to pull with this book he's going to "write" ...

I've been trying to keep all of this to myself but this last identity stunt has really pissed me off ...

I know I'm probably gonna get some heat for this post but it needed to be said -- too many people are complaining about it (offline) and nobody is saying anything ...

No heat from me, Pop! In fact, I'm w/ you 100%.

I've also been trying to keep this to myself, but reading about the KOOMBYEYAH crap & seeing how he dumped on tikifish, I figure it's my civic duty to blather!

Before Toa posted the "tiki book" thread on TC he sent out an email w/ a gazillion addresses on it (all should have been BCC'ed - I cringe to think what somebody might do w/ all those addresses)!

I got a funny feeling from the email. It read like a marketing survey & just seemed disingenuous. Also, I felt suspicious about Toa saying in the email that s/he would include recipes “gathered and collected over the years,” when just recently Toa had compiled all the TC recipes.

I was surprised by the overwhelming response from folks interested in contributing to his/her book. Didn’t that email & the subsequent post weird out anyone else?

However, I didn’t, until this thread, question his/her motives. I just thought s/he was a lot hokier than me (if that’s even possible!).

Just my 2¢,
Tiki Chris
