You don't share parts of your collection because you are under the impression we've seen it all. Well, we have not. There is a small minority who go the extra mile and add major content to TC. They need to keep doing that and more people need to get on board. Maybe even a new forum! Ha! "My Collection" If everybody started posting what they had, we'd be packed with content. sub-categories for each type of item, and subjects for places or makers and we all just start adding pictures and what we know... Great suggestions! I agree that lurkers may be hesitant to share their collections after seeing the amazing posts by Sabu and Puamana. But I would love to see more sharing of pictures, postcards, menus, matchbooks, mugs, etc. Other ideas: If you revisit a tiki bar or restaurant post a review, even if it's been reviewed before. Updates are always welcome. But only if you can do it without name calling! If you discover (or rediscover) a good drink share it. There was once a topic on favorite drink of the moment or something like that. [ Edited by: thejab 2006-12-07 12:22 ]
