What's with the 17K posts? You might well ask. I've asked myself. Here are the five top reasons:
1. I enjoy gaining information about pipes, pipe smoking and pipe tobacco. Really, that may be the key, it's so obvious. This group really knows its stuff, and new smokers ask good and provocative questions.

2. I enjoy the sociability.

3. This is a community I can enjoy between tasks and activities in limited time slots. I'm somewhat a caretaker to my wife who has limited mobility.

4. This is a more responsive readership than in any other format. Published material, I often cannot tell if it's been read at all.

5. Surprise factor, both new posts and responses to old ones, always bring around unexpected material. It's a bit like a word game or video game in that regard.
No who-ha or congratulations needed. Just share what your additional reasons for posting might be.

Except for the lack of ice cream, I agree with you. Best to your wife, MSO.

bluegrass, I wasn't consciously running up the score. In fact, I thought I might wait until the beginning of July to get 17K in 7/17. I think I just hit a good blend of coffee and went into a caffeinated posting frenzy. Muddy Dog Pepper Cask blend. This is a very uncalculating activity. Maybe somewhere in the back of my brain I went into "the kick," but I'm not aware of it.

jiminks, of course, you're the reigning and always champ of posts. Once I think I saw your taillights dimly in the distance, but you're out of state by now.

I totally agree with your reasoning mso! Of course I agree with ashdigger too, so you have to take that into consideration. Fact is you always have something to say, not just posting a few words, so keep on keeping on... :clap:

anyone who lasts for 17k posts without getting banned from the site is testament to pipe smoking and this forum.

Yeah, MSO!

Thank you fellow members and Kevin. I know I'm enjoying Forums because I jabber so much.
