I am probably the world's worse of straying off topic or starting new topics within old topics, etc. I have found the search feature REAL handy in tracking down some things that I couldn't locate any other way (actually, now that has become the FIRST way I go looking for things), but some moving around and organization (more topic headers?) as TED mentioned might help, too. There IS a LOT of great info here, it's just some of it is scattered about like shrapnel from a hand grenade. --RJ-- |
In my spare time...yeah right, spare time.....when I stay up past midnight and cannot sleep, I come down here and read through some of the old posts that I have archived. GREAT GREAT STUFF!!! I find myself sitting here in the dark and wee hours laughing my ass off at some of this. I plan to pick out some of the funniest and group it all together. I am also going to get together all of teds splainin' of this and that. RJ's and DrBs contributions as they go into detailed history is especially interesting, especially when accompanied by pictures.
And speaking of pictures, I can make a picture book of Ed's postings of pipes brought back from the grave.
A lot of really good stuff here Gents! If nothing else comes of this, I hope to at least get all your words and wisdom put together and printed on paper with a digital backup as well. So...someday all your grandkids can read it and say...Hey, he wasn't such a dumb ol' sh!t after all!

It's been over a month and a half since I did my first bit repairs with Plastex. I have been smoking them all, not daily, but regularly, cleaning with alcohol weekly...no problems |
I've got some CH burning in the Viscount bull dog now.Taste like crap. Me thinks this pipe has some ghosts and will need a couple of bowls to exorcise them. This pipe was really cruddy! I thought at first the st--oops cleaner was missing. Turned out it was in the shank-all gummed up!! First thing I noticed is that the Plastex feels like vulcanite,harder than ABS! Thinkin' maybe it would be a good idea to cover about 3/4" up from the button on my ABS stemmed pipes to make them more bite resistant!! File 'em down and build 'em back up!!

Do that salt and alcohol treatment Ed. I did that to all my ebay pipes, and what a world of difference, really freshens them.
I agree about Plastex, I like the feel, that's not a bad idea!

I vote for Barry at the appropriate parlimentary moment.
The only thing I would say is, let's don't get too heavily moderated. I have been a member of a pipe board that has regular, heavy moderation, and I've been on three or four more that don't. "Don't" is the better way, in my opinion. |

From what I have seen on this board, I don't see that there is much need for 'moderation'. Yes, there may be some going off topic, but then, that's part of what makes this place 'the place to be'.

I believe it is, "Hear! Hear!" -- or at least that is what I remember from one of Jules Verne's books -- either Journey to the Moon, or Around the Moon, wherein some of the characters say that during a meeting. Of course, It's been about 35 years or so since I read the books . . . --RJ--
