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.
