Then again, BigBro could declare allegiance to North Korea, and I'd still think he's cool. Because my eloquence on this message board is ... well, what's the old saying: "that and a quarter will get you a cup of coffee." (Needs to be adjusted for inflation!) But Sven has produced materials on this topical area that are of immense and lasting value. He labored for years on his books while I just kind of waited, then clicked on a button to order them! It's important to imagine a youngster coming upon one of his tiki books at, say, a garage sale in 2030, and going on to reignite a new tiki renaissance. Because such a scenario is very likely to occur, and whether or not Sven came across as a bit haughty at times on an internet message board decades earlier won't matter then. Sven doesn't couch his opinions with self-effacing mush, that's for sure. But then again as far as I know he doesn't dispatch armed men to enforce his opinions on anyone either. I figure, "celebrate diversity." Sven's style isn't mine, but man has he ever produced.
