Your response raised the enormous issue and was the proverbial elephant in the living room that agiftcorp had, in fact, missappropriated Danny's style and name because the "description" (which was yours -you posted it - and a fine description, no need to disavow it now) was an unrestrained recommendation of Agiftcorp. However, you failed to address the obvious issue of the simiilarity of Danny's and Agiftcorp's name and style.

Moreover, by boldly promoting agiftcorp, and soliciting tiki fans to acquire its brochures, you allowed the inference that you were profiting by Agiftcorp ripping off Danny.

What I am after - nothing except to express my disappointment that a very capable tiki carver's good reputation, name and style appeared to have been appropriated (which was obvious by looking at my prior posts), although I agree with you, no one can monopolize a phrase like "Freaky Tiki" or even "Chiki Tiki."
