..the reason people use shag in the title is not because (usually) they are claiming the item is from shag but because when someone types the name shag (which is quite popular these days and whose actuall items sell for big bucks) they will be directed to that sellers auction....

sellers assume that if someone likes shag they also like tiki...and they also hope they like it enough to spend alot of money on it.....so they use his name in the title....

i wouldn't waste time bemoaning the fact....it's just another way sellers usurp an artist identity to sell their wares....

let's face it...i don't see anyone using my name in their search title to sell their wares and believe it or not i am actually known worldwide for my products...even before shag put his first brush to canvas!! LOL
