I would have to echo all that's been said. And, speaking as a "greenhorn," the whole piping experience has exploded to a much higher level for me, thanks to the shared wisdom, ideas, comments, suggestions, and genuine interest that the members here share with everyone on this forum.
I feel indebted to all of you. My pipe hobby has really been good medicine for me. It's probably all that's keeping me sane...well, mostly sane. :puffpipe:
