If you are just now discovering Tiki, one of the smartest things you can do is read the Book of Tiki.

And that, dear friends, is the only reason I started this thread. It was not directed at those people who have been into tiki since before BOT even came out. It was directed at the new people who come on and start posting left and right without first educating themselves on the roots of Poly Pop. I spent a long time lurking on TC, soaking up a lot of the old threads, and reading BOT before I felt that my posts could add any real value to the discussions here. It was only then that I really started participating. And I'm no expert. I'm still learning all the time and it's great fun to learn!

BK, your post was spot on. It's great to see new people joining TC, but it's not so great to watch the whole thing get diluted because many posters are ignorant (there's that word, doh!) of tiki history.
