I'll add cynsaligia's restaurant and menu reviews!

wow! i have a fan!

But honestly - while I enjoy participating in cyberspace discussions, I'm not so sure I want them immortalized in book form. I'm curious to hear Ryan's take - might there be issues with getting the rights to use our postings? Sure, the material is probably considered "property of" the website - but it could be argued that such a "contract" with a contributor to the site was never meant to include any other medium.

and here lies an illustration as to why eric and i don't post using our real names, ever. while the HT regulars are savvy & respectful about the line between our very personal postings, not everyone would be able to separate the opinions of buzz1941 versus the star bulletin's. an HT book would include an audience clueless about the world of internet discussion threads.

Jim75's beautiful dolphin photo can actually represent a number of things. From being in Hawaii, to being a family, to being playful, to being intelligent. Most of which covers the various personalities that makes up what makes HT such a great place.

don't forget that dolphins have an aggressive side, too.

...Dr. Richard Connor, studying dolphins in Shark Bay in Western Australia, (says), “Dolphins are complex, intelligent, social animals and that carries with it a range of behaviors from the nice to the not-so-nice. Just like in our own species.”

HT definitely has its non-playful, non-smiley, moments of aggression, so yeah--dolphins on the cover of a hypothetical book about HT is perfect.
