TC'ers, please don't get me wrong. I believe this site is a great site, or I would not visit in the first place..I really do appreciate all the hard work and preparation and maintenance that goes into this website. It is the premier website dealing with Tiki..

However, I should have been more clear in what I was looking for in my original post, re: tiki Fonts..

Yes, I was seeking information, but more importantly, I am seeking to hear other's ideas, and make new friends with people who like the same things I like...

I wanted to discuss the issue, not just use this site as some sort of search engine..

My response was based on the fact that I thought a few people were being kind of rude and condescending to me...without really even knowing me!

I always tell people, "wait to you get to know me..then hate me!"

Hanford took the time in a separate email to me, to explain the way things run at TC, and I appreciate it...

In some other websites forums, the older users seem to want to control and take ownership...They can be rather territorial, as though it is their own exclusive member only club. Us new users are made to feel almost as if we are trespassing. That is the way some OTHER sites are, and it was starting to look like the same thing was happening here..

Please keep in mind that this is the way things seemed, and I am talking about how I feel, not about facts.

PS, I have met some of you at the limited amount of TC events I have attended, and find all of you to be very nice people.
