That's Private Messages, not PMS. (I've had enough of that lately.)
It would be helpful to our entire pipe community here if you guys can keep something in mind when it comes to sending Private Messages (PM's).
One of the largest benefits of these forums is that they provide an opportunity for people to learn, and to read other people's opinions, input, advice, etc. And to be entertained too.
This is negated when someone asks a question in a PM, where the answer would benefit other members of the forums.
These forums are about sharing information, not keeping it between just 2 members in private messages.
Many pipe smokers that are not members come here and read. Several of them decide to join us after reading for a while.
So, I ask you to please use PM's only for conversations that should truly be kept private.
Questions like ...
1. What is your favorite Latakia blend?
2. Should I buy a Peterson or a Savinelli?
3. What's the best way to pack a pipe?
4. How do I put a photo into a post?
These should be asked in public.
Questions like ...
1. Can I buy that estate pipe of yours for $100?
2. Can we meet up at the Chicago show on Thurs at 11?
3. Isn't Kevin an egotistical objectifier of women?
These should be asked in a PM.
Thanks.
