I love taking the piss. But I’ve had to learn the hard way that it’s actually quite a culturally specific sense of humour, and that in the long run it is really only funny in a spirit of camaraderie and not at another’s expense.
So…I’m committing to answering leroys’ questions sincerely, primarily so the rest of you can keep up with the banter. But seriously, if this guy really fucks you off, just click ignore.

The OP rarely engages with those who answer so I can't tell if he or she is actually interested in the answers. The lack of interaction is also somewhat disturbing. I wonder if this is some kind of deranged Turing test. Anyway, that's why I don't respond.

Very odd that the OP never has anything to say after asking a question and will never answer any question. Interesting questions, typical of a new pipe smoker but I do wonder what's up...... ?
I hadn’t realised the lack of response to the ‘genuine’ answers provided by forum members. Perhaps this guy is doing research for Richard hackers new book
Maybe its just Brobs just having a little fun
This is mild. Wait until a real fight breaks out.?I have to say, it's quite something seeing two pages of people being one of these gifs, either at OP or at each other:
In a twisted sense, this thread's pretty damn good at spawning some sort of discussion, without being too harmful.
Trying to get the post count up to change his status?
No matter how many times it's been asked before it is likely that new questions are good for driving traffic on the forum.
When someone posts the same thread twice the mods should probably close one of them though.

Yeh, ever since I have been here, Kevin and mods have always said that we aren't supposed to smack down new posters asking the same questions that have been asked a million times... well, unless there are actually duplicate thread running at one time. Each new person and the same ol same questions are to be tolerated, because it is an easy step into the community and allows newer folks to help newbies also.
It's just plain unwelcoming and an asshole move to smack down a newbie like that. If you don't like the post, just move on. Many here will be glad to help this guy out. No one is forcing anyone to respond or even read every thread. Hell, I definately don't read every thread, and you guys know what a chatty kathy I am.
If you are getting tired of the same ol questions, then take a break for a while. Go post on a car forum ride a bike or whatever for a while.
But, we are going to get over a hundred more posts for the rest of the year asking about tongue bite and how to smoke Virginias. Without those, what is the forum for?
I joined a few other pipe forums not so long ago, one encouraged members to search for like posts before posting, and the place looked like a bunch of musty old pipesmokers all talking about nothing. The place looked dead.
New guys, make your damn selves at home, and feel free to ask what the hell ever you want to ask about pipes.
If I'm wrong, may Kevin strike me dead right here where I post.
My thoughts are that if you think it is a troll or troll like question, hit the button for report. Let the mods sort it out. Otherwise the record will show anyone who responds in any way as a jackal to be just that.
