I understand and respect your position Erika. The nature of a forum is that it's here for the exchange of information for a common interest. A post here doesn't disrupt one's dinner or interupt one's schedule like a telemarketing call. It's just information posted under a title. One can choose to read it or not. One can chose to use the info or not. Some people that register may not have any interest in tiki. They may have come across an artifact and find TC searching the net for info. Then they register to see if there is any interest here. If someone is not interested in an item posted on the forum then just read the next thread instead of posting a negative comment that does nothing to help the TC community. I think in the long run we will have more information of tiki items in the marketplace and have better access to purchasing them. It is not my intention to stir the pot or cause trouble. I love reading most of the posts on TC and again have gathered invaluable tiki knowledge and access to some cool purchases. I don't like to get involved in the politics on boards and forums, but I thought the spam comments from several threads currently in the collecting tiki forum were getting a little abusive and rude. My final comment on this topic is just for us all to be pleasant towards one another and use the information posted here to further our knowledge and collecting of tiki.
