I'm glad that though some private correspondance the Bong and The Gardener have ironed things out.

And as to the Bong vs Gardener thread that was locked very quickly. My money is on Bong... At the drinking table, I'm sure I'd be barfing well before Bong was slurring his s's. And in most areas of banter and debate, he'd probably come out the better.
All he was guilty of ( debate wise that is ) is going for a cheap shot, as opposed to saying what would have furthered his point. If the cheap shot had been factually accurate, I'd have been toast. Even if I argued the point of decorum till the cows came home, if it had been accurate, whether it was cheap really wouldn't have mattered.

And given that I've struggled with the effects of ADD/HD, I've found myself in the same place Bong did. I've destroyed more than a few friendships, and caused many an uncomfortable moment at family gatherings by saying what was on my mind, no matter how inappropriate.

So, I really hope that this post can be viewed as much as my apology as it is an acknowledgement of Bong's.

After all, I did tell him to "Get Bent".

Again folks lets get back to tiki, and drunken posts.

I now click submit post hoping I haven't pissed anyone off.
