Over the years -- yes, it's been a while -- I've made some suggestions and recommendations that have been picked up or at least acknowledged by Forums members, and some that haven't. Several that, to my knowledge, have never been taken include recommendations for several pipes. It's okay with me; some notions click, and others don't, but it is kind of interesting observe the non-starters. Speak up if I'm wrong about any of these. I've never heard back on my eight or ten recommendations for the Peterson B11 bent volcano sitter shaped pipes available continuously over the years in various series. Despite a number of pitches, and members in this state (N.C.) and region, no one has ever seconded the motion on pipe carver Jerry Perry of Colfax, N.C., perhaps because he does not sell online but only at the N.C. State Fair and TAPS pipe show which is also at the Fairgrounds. And finally, for great moderately priced small pipes, I have long recommended the French pipes by EWA sold by Iwan Ries. These are several of my bright ideas, so far as I know, not taken. Have you pitched any pipes, blends, or ideas that have met the great silence? I will say, I'd rather have people ignore my enthusiasms than follow them and be unhappy, so I assume in some cases this is all for the best. And plenty of my talking points have been picked up, so I'm pleased with those.
