*"...You see John-O - there IS a way to write a lot in a post and actually make it enjoyable for people to read, instead of making them want to cut your typing fingers off. *

Huh?

"...I reposted his argument under the General Forum. Does that kind of cross-posting break TC protocol? Sue me."

As I understand the laws and regulations of Tiki Central***** it doesn't break any protocol as you're starting a new thread derived from an off topic thread that developed in another thread.

I would suggest that anyone who has an off topic query or pondering that was sparked by a thread always voice those thoughts in a new thread in the first place.

Why?

Because of what happened right here. This thread was mainly to celebrate how proud Sabu the Coconut Boy's family is about the recent success of their only daughter Sabina the Melon Girl. So we're all marveling at Sabina the Melon Girl's many skills and her asset when up pops a pondering that really wasn't bilge material. It should have been up on deck with all the first class topics, not down here in steerage with a thread like this.

Simple way to begin a useful new thread inspired by another thread:

"While reading the discussion on Trader Vic's irregularity in the Was the Mai Tai Originally Made With Prune Juice??? thread I thought about the prune danish they used to serve at the Sunday brunch at Haole Joe's Aloha Hole in Los Feliz. I had heard that the prune danish were baked at the Tropical Flours bakery and..."

That way info is searchable, Tiki Central is more useful, and time wasting threads with pictures of big boobed bleach blond bimbos (sorry Sabu) tweaking the "nipples" of a couple straw hats can remain devoid of useful content.

*****Which I was just going over while preparing to sue you.
