Plenty of people post purchases.
My mind is made up that there is more or less enough to go around.

My mixed feelings for sure.
Everyone everywhere has an opinion

& that's OK.

If I intend to impress, an item of rarity can be found there, but I think it might be better shared.

What we would gain if we all were so lucky.
I don't know.
Let's think about that for a bit.
Look, we're all loving the "tobacco" experience.

Still with companies going out of business.
Everyone is hoarding.
No..."cellaring".
Don't deny it.

You might be thinking, that's not me.
Or that it's not a lot.
Understanding this is why I am posting.

See, it's about a community, all of us share the joy of smoking.
We have at least that as a bond
Everyone of us, I would imagine, would greet one another with kindness if we met smoking a pipe.
At least we would give each other a nod and look of approval.
To finish the rant, I can only hope you are lucky enough to realize that.
Enjoy the post and hurry up, I'll do what I can.
Don't worry if you didn't get it, it was never meant to last.

I find it remarkable that every time, every single time, I have ever met someone that smokes a pipe as I do that it always is an enjoyable experience. Now I admit I am a novice, with limited experience and statistically speaking within time that statement will change. However I must concur with your words: "
Everyone of us, I would imagine, would greet one another with kindness if we met smoking a pipe.
At least we would give each other a nod and look of approval". That has been my experience; Always positive, always relaxed, always enjoyable.

That has been the case for me as well... although according to some who have posted here in the past, that would not be the case for them - a scolding get lost and leave me in peace seemed to be their call letters. Thankfully, my roads have taken me to kinder places.

I think that the main problem is that the OP’s hidden message only shows on a big screen, like my laptop. Now that I see it on my iPhone, and with DoCast vs Replica screen sharing it does look like a rambling poem.

It did take me a minute to even read it on my laptop, but on a phone… not so much at all.

You're absolutely right — the issue seems to come down to screen size and formatting. On a larger screen like a laptop, the layout probably preserves the structure of the hidden message, making it easier to notice. But on a phone, where text wraps differently and you see less at a time, it just looks like a disjointed or poetic ramble. It's a good reminder that formatting can make or break how content is interpreted across different devices.
