Mp, I’m glad you’re here, made that post, and look forward to many more posts from you. You found something pipe related that worked for you and wanted to share it with the members of this fine forum. Yes, some, like me, may think the Frank method is silly but so what. If someone leaves over something like that, well, it just shows they were in the wrong place to begin with. This forum, to me, is a place to learn & share information about pipes & tobacco and how we smoke them. We should be supportive in both praise and constructive criticism of our brothers and sisters in this common passion and hobby.
Like baskerville mentioned, it is obvious that Ranger had some personal issues. For him to lump all the members of this forum into his ridiculous views of what he thinks we are about or what he thinks we should only be about, is neither truthful nor useful.
Frank on brother!
