Sorry to see Pocky's enthusiasm get quashed; that's truly a bummer. And for Mrs. Pineapple, times they are a changin' wether you noticed it or not. I'm 50 years old, and I know what all those little abbreviations and acromyms mean. It's designed to save time, not consume it. Once an old dog learns these tricks, the old dog will save a lot of time in forums like this, and in internet communications in general. Really...Trust me. Maybe Pocky posts a lot - it seemed harmless to me - once the novelty of the forum wears off he'll calm down. Look at me! I have not posted for a couple of days! We could have handled this very differently, in a non-public forum as it were, by PMing Pocky directly or whatever. Now we've alienated at least one new tiki guy. Geez. Talk about wasting time! Replying to these posts and explaining the new 'main stream', well now that seems like a waste of time to me. (For those who do not know, Things in arrows like slightly resemble the opening of an HTML statement. is the close to that HTML statement. Check out the definnition for HTML on WikiPedia :wink: )...
