Thanks MM. Kono, I am not trying to single you out, but your comment is pretty darn extreme. You are comparing me and kohalacharms with Osama Bin Laden??? Everyone: Elitest? Yes. There are a few people who have collections we all drool over. Collections that fill rooms. Collections that make even our biggest look tiny. Some have spent big money on them, but many have collected for over a decade and spent less than $10 for most of their mugs. Neither is any better or worse than the other. But they all have a level of dedication to collecting that few of us have. And, almost none of them post on TC. Why? I don't know. But if you were kohalacharms, would you join this group? I hope to get these extreme collectors to communicate and share. From that, all of us will benefit. And perhaps if the heavy hitters are trading, they won't be bidding on Ebay. Regardless, this very thread shows reasons why people who are extremely dedicated to collecting tiki are not joining our forum. It shows why there needs to be a new forum. A forum where extreme fans of tiki collecting can share without being bashed for spending their hard earned money on what they love and cherish. So? If OBL sent me an email that he was going to off Hanford and I forwarded it to the FBI I should feel like a heel? I'm not reading it that Hula was a friend or confidant of kohalacharms. He likely received the email unsolicited and took umbrage with it. I applaud him.
