[QUOTE="slartie, post: 1190, member: 35"] I find myself nodding to a lot of what LL is saying (despite the pounding headache I have right now). Many parts of the pipe community (as with any community) has gone sour (specifics intentionally left out), and it's a damn shame. It doesn't take much to make a place unbearable, but it takes a lot to keep it from happening. The anonymity and distance you have online enables people in a positive, but also in a negative way. <shameless exaggeration>If we were all members of a gentleman's club (no women allowed) who met every day after work. Enjoying a sip of cognac, a cigar or a pipe while chatting or reading the newspaper, disputes could be readily handled face to face with a quick exchange of words (no fighting since you're always wearing your good tweed jacket), and that would be the end of it. Fair winds, LL. [/QUOTE]
