Some times you find out information about someone which you'd probably rather not know but which you know other people might want to know if they're planning on having any interactions with that person whether socially or in business.

At times like this do you think it's best to just pretend you don't know or is there an obligation to at least make other interested parties aware of the information?

There of course is that old line "What you don't know..." but if the unknown information is something some may find so shocking, and extremely off-putting should it be divulged?

I recently just discovered that a Tiki Central Member who is also a "friend" of mine over on the MySpace added as their profile song Christmas Island by Jimmy Buffet.

I am aware of the effect Jimmy Buffet has on many of you. Mr Buffet clearly has a power that a large number of Tiki Central members are incapable of overcoming. He may even have sparked more discussions on Tiki Central than Martin Denny.

I, fortunately, don't have an issue with Jimmy's music. In fact just to set the tone for this post I am listening to him right now.

I've also found his music has been useful at events with a large number of Tiki Centralites...I bring a small cassette player with a Buffet tape and turn it on to clear the path to the bar or get choice objects from vendors. (At the Tiki Art Now show in 2006 I used Cheeseburger In Paradise to immobilize a large group of Tiki aficionados which allowed me and a few others, two with earplugs so as to not be affected by the Buffet tune, to scoop up more than our share of the limited edition mugs.)

But knowing how so many of you feel about Jimmy Buffet I wonder if I should reveal the information I've discovered to Tiki Central in general? Is it a service to the so called Ohana or is it just spreading gossip?
