That reminds me sometimes I'am tempted to do stupid things. Like get a tattoo of a random older gentleman (portrait style) and when people ask who it is, I'll just be like an old guy, old guys are cool.SHOW HER THIS

MSO's post are one of the things kept me interested in this forum.. even before I was a member. ?
Yep, same here. I’d find myself Googling a topic about a tobacco or pipe and always wound up reading an entertaining post he had written. One of the main reasons I went ahead and joined the forum.
@mso489 made Burley cool again.
MSO is a valuable member of this forum. His thread starting is legendary and appreciated by myself and many others it looks like. I am always learning something new from him and I have been here a while. The man knows his pipes and is a burley maven. We are lucky to have him.
I started reading this post and wondered where you were going... thought for sure you were going to say he's too "burley" biasedJust to even things out a bit. I personally think he should be locked up the key thrown out and all his pipes and keyboards seized and stored far far away. You know just to play devils advocate.
ditto +1
Definitely a lot of good advice from him!!!
Haha me too. I felt like I already knew MSO
This forum just wouldn’t be the same without @mso489
Yes indeedy, a finer figure of the good forum member is not to be found! Thank you, @mso489 !
Have always enjoyed Tom’s threads and posts! A valuable forum member and staple of the community for sure! Cheers!
@mso489 has been a great poster for as long as I've been here, and helped me when I was starting out. He is definitely one of the good ones, and I'm glad we didn't lose him in the Great Update.
Yes @mso489 this would potentially be a very boring and repetitive forum, if it weren't for your unique topics, and funny/interesting comments!
MSO is a very good writer who doesn't hide his opinion, he critizises wthout hurting in a friendly way. I enjoy his posts, but I wonder why he never shows a picture.
I'll take that cash in small denominations now in a paper bag, mso...heh.
MSO is my bellweather for thoughtful conversation, may he contribute for a long time.
HE'S OLD OK
I tip my hat to MSO as well. A gentleman and a scholar. He actively works to maintain this site as a true community, engaging others with his regular posts, drawing out members who otherwise might not post. I think of MSO as one of the friendly old timers, sitting around the pot-bellied wood stove in the general store, offering greetings/salutations and conversation to one and all, making the store the heart of the community. Thank you MSO!
