Long Island Iced Tea

 * from my talk page...

Dear Feathers- Please excuse me. I'm not sure how to correctly have a discussion with you. I certainly am not proficient at using Wilipedia. You seem to be an expert. This is my first experience being directly involved with Wikipedia. I certainly don't want to yell at you. This is the 30th anniversary of what I believe to be the origin of the Long Island Ice tea. Because another bartender from OBI got his name in print doesn't make his the only verifiable story. It hasn't been easy staying quiet these many years for this very reason. At this point in my life I figured the truth as I know it should be discussed. If in fact there is verifiable proof that the Long Island Ice Tea existed before 77-78 I will back down and call it a coincidence. Is the reason you keep pulling the story from Wikepedia because you have first hand knowledge? Otherwise, Please stop pulling the the story unless you have some verifiable proof. Afterall just because it's in writing doesn't always make it true. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dabigw (talk • contribs).
 * I have a Watch on your page, so we can talk here. If you're new to Wikipedia then you need to learn two of the most important things: using reliable sources that can be independently verified. It falls to you, the person who's added the content, to provide a verifiable, reliable source for the content you've added. First hand knowledge is not reliable according to Wikipedia standards. Until then, it should stay out of the article. fethers 01:01, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
