Uh-oh, anotherbob knows what I'm really like. Thank you one and all. This is a highlight of this otherwise not so happy year!

ha ha for my abilities to see what truly resides in mens hearts (mostly cheeseburgers and grasshoppers [yeah that takes some getting used to]), The not so happy year part isn't funny (Even if it's well earned [going with a theme here]) and hope your next highlights much brighter.
I've only been here since 2011 and that's two years longer than MSO and he's got me beat by 28,000 posts.
Doesn't John Paul look quite natural as a pipesmoker?
Since we have you and all the other admirers here, I thought I'd show you (after a long span of abstinence from pipe purchasing) this new one from Peterson's Sherlock Holmes SPG series. It's the top pipe:
The one personal drawback is the P-tip. SP has sent the pipe to Silas Walls to make a new fish tail stem. Won't have the "P" on its side, but the rest of the pipe (not the top one exactly, but another SP had in inventory), is still a gorgeous pipe. Now I have to stick up the local 7-11 to pay for the thing...

Another member of the MSO fan club here!
He always seems happy and upbeat, all the time. Grand fellow.
mso489! He can drive me to distraction. He can fascinate me! He can even make me do research. I've been known to throw up my hands in disbelief at some of his musings. Once or twice I've gone and poured a stiff drink after reading something he's thrown out there into the ether. I've even shrugged my shoulders and slapped my forehead wondering why I didn't come up with that.
MSO! Always entertaining and, very important this, always gentle and polite. An asset to the site indeed!

MSO has begun more useful threads than any other member that of whom I'm aware. He's a forum treasure. Would that we still had the special titles bestowed upon selected members for their contributions. MSO would surely rate such an honor.
Not much I can add that hasn’t been said but his posts are the highlight of my reading here. I read his posts even before I was a member and knew this was a good forum. Many thanks for all the wisdom you have shared.
Brian Levine should have him on the radio show!
The substantive content he provides has been amply and deservedly praised here already, so I'll just throw in my blanket agreement.
Perhaps more noticeable to me has been how he consistently leaves room for the validity and importance of the opinions and experiences of the other posters. That sort of simple decency is always good grease to prevent worthwhile threads from devolving into juvenile mud slinging. So thank you, MSO!

Count me among the crowd of MSO fans! MSO, you remind me of the Chinese saying “softness overcomes hardness” with your soft spirit and strong character.
His posts are informative and thoughtful... He treats people with decency and kindness... Just a real joy to share a forum with!
