The email sent to you over a month ago and therer were email before that

If you saw the mug in person you would only have joy about it. My dad surprized me with this one off mug for my birthday. I'm the one who is on the internet and loves tiki. My dad doesn't know too much about the ins and outs of tiki but he has made what I think are the greatest tiki mugs ever and yours would be included into this niche. He saw your logo in tiki magazine and he nor I was familar with your work before this mug.

Its a tribute mug to you and to me, I guess, from my dad. This mug is not going to be reproduced or sold. Not only is it not for sale, we have never made a massproduced mug but I have many of my own designs that I will someday want to make. This mug was a labor of love and I hope you like what you see. Its your work in a different direction. And the design credits for this incrediable mug is all in your name as shown on the card that I hope you will sign.

Your email to me today

Your audacity is incredible. Your knock off mug is not a tribute to me and it's not even a good representation of my design, if anything, the mug makes me look bad! Your telling me you made one, how the hell do I know that to be true??!! Further more, what makes you think I wouldn't want to put my own Tiki Dawg mug out??!! Thanks to you the cats' out of the bag and now there will be 2 versions floating around out there, an authentic Tiki Dawg mug and a lousy cheap imitation. So let me make this perfectly clear, NO I will not sign your stupid card. Do not contact me anymore, have a great life.
