You can't assume that the only reason some people like him is because they know him personally. Where did you get that 90% figure from by the way? I don't recall any poll being carried out. The posts on Tiki Central are like the drinks in a Tiki bar. A whole bunch are like Mai Tai's in that virtually everyone is in agreement that they are great and what they come here for. Bong's are like Campari's and soda. The taste isn't what they expected at all and they screw up their face as a result. Some complain to the bartender as a result, but it's not his fault as he just supplied what they asked for. Perhaps the bartender is thinking, "Why do I keep serving Camparis and soda when so many people taste it and then give me grief about it. Is it worth having it on the drinks menu?". Anyway, there are people who work at their Campari and sodas, fight the initial bitterness, then go on to love the drink. They might not want to drink it every day, but sometimes it's the only thing that hits the spot, and for that reason, the bartender should continue to keep Campari and soda on the menu. Trader Woody
