Leleliz don't you have to go post on "Tiki Finds" all the cool "Tiki mugs" you bought today!, since this is the bulk of what you
contribute to Tiki Central,you are a fine example of "Tiki Content" expert?
or is this just compulsive need to post everything you buy, i.e "collectors syndrome"?

Ouch, this smacks close to the bone for me. Lately I have limited the majority of my posting to Tiki Finds or related "show me" threads simply because of threads just like this one.

I am not sure I suffer from "collector syndrome" because I share what I have found with the members and lurkers of Tiki Central. I find there is more "tiki" posted in the Tiki Finds thread than any one thread on this forum. Yes, I would venture to guess that maybe 15 to 20% of what is posted on Finds is not tiki in the somewhat complicated and seemingly difficult to define context, but I have learned more about what is and isn't tiki in this thread alone since I first started coming here. I post my finds to show the community what is out there and to share information...nothing more.

I am beginning to question my Grand Member status at this time. So much of what I have seen here lately has left me feeling rather cold. I came to Tiki Central for a break from this kind of distraction and I now understand why so many have left or do not participate here anymore.

I can honestly say I do not have a beef with anyone one here. Everyone I have met or corresponded with I consider a friend here, regardless of how others might feel about or treat them. Yes, I have disagreed with some posts and people at times, given and received some flack, but I always felt like at the end of the day, it was all good.

So it appears, based on the comments here, we can all agree there is no resident or in-house "Tiki" expert posting on Tiki Central. Including me!

See you over in Tiki Finds soon I hope!
