I hope any animosity generated by this does not poison people's feelings and attitudes on this site (take the David Landry thread, for example). Stuckie and Chongolio went thru a lot of effort to provide us the opportunity to obtain such an awesome mug, and we should continue to support such efforts.

That being said, I do think it is unfair that some one-post-wonder gets this mug, while long-time contributors like TikiJosh get the shaft. I would bet that most, if not all, of these 'Newbies' are actually speculators who are buying the mug to resell at a huge profit. Just keep your eyes on Ebay... I bet you will be able to match up those sellers with the 'newbies' who got the Ohana Hut.

I recall similar complaints over the Tiki Oasis 6 mug. Perhaps a lottery may be better the next time a limited edition mug is offered. People opt in, then winners are randomly selected.

P.S. Good luck TikiJosh and all others on the wait list.
