Now I know why my invitation to you last month to share my thoughts on my recently undertaken Journey of Revelatory Universal Awareness on an hourly basis with the JoinMe app went unanswered...
You're one of those soon-to-be-extinct "all male" men.
Yes this is tongue in cheek.
I have yet to come across a thread asking questions of this nature that comes across as rude or impertinent. In fact, I have asked some of these questions myself on the forum, as I joined in order to talk to others about our shared hobby. I think questions like "How long have you been smoking?" are perfectly acceptable and I'd venture to say most of the folks here find interest in such subjects and learning more about the humans behind the avatars.
I'm guilty of this - my most recent thread was asking what everyone's most recent online order consisted of. I've since learned of the TAD thread!

There’s a thread for posting about my “Teddy” orders?
It was briefly about pies. And there was talk of wolverine fornication. This thread has it all!
I find the following joke very pertinent to the topic under discussion 
A new general was allotted to a new army base. After some time in the base he realized how there were two army men guarding an empty bench in shifts. He asked his colleagues and his juniors what it was all about. A colleague said “I don’t know but it’s been a tradition here since joined 35 years ago.” The general confused as he was went through the past generals of that base till he found the one that was in charge 35 years ago. He attempted to find him, and found that he had retired and he lived in the countryside now. He contacted him and requested to meet. On the day of the meeting the general asked the retired commander why that bench was guarded so much. The commander was shocked. “So you’re telling me the paint on that bench hasn’t dried yet?!”

Maybe one of the things people do in forums is to respond to various threads in just the opposite manner that the thread was written to illicit. For example, imagine a tread title, "Reasons Why You Love Your Fez".
The majority of posters will respond with reasons why they hate the Fez, pictures of their baseball caps, or extolling the virtues of being someone who would not wear a Fez. Then there will be those who respond by saying that they would like to wear a fez but don't have the nerve. Somewhere in there will be several people who show their Fez, explain why they enjoy it, and then the last few posters will insult each other and accuse each other of favoring various forms of fascism. Then the thread will be locked.

After all…they are just questions.

I believe everything that could be said about this subject has been covered and then some.
If you have a burning new point to add, PM me and I can add it.
