At 55 yrs old, I have just picked up the pipe about 6 months ago. Where I live there is no one to turn to for information about pipes. As my obsessive personality drove me to devour all information available about all things pipes/tobacco, I often ended up perusing exchanges on this forum by way of Google. For example, I wanted to know about some good quality "lesser known estate pipe brands". Where was I led? Here. And, I scored some pipes based on the wisdom I gleaned here. There are many, many other occasions where Google searches led me here to find extremely useful information. Too many to name.
I recently joined the forum and although the forum (Beginner's Questions) kindly states, "there's no such thing as a dumb question", I can tell you that I have already asked a few. What was the response from forum veterans? Kindness. Great, solid information. I am certain I have just started a life-long devotion to the pipe and I owe a great deal of gratitude to this forum and the people behind it for helping me learn a great deal in a short amount of time.
Respect!
