A bunch of useless crap
Published on August 2, 2010 By MasonM In Blogging

I belong to a great forum for those of us who enjoy pipes and cigars. It's called Smokers Forums. It's a great collection of folks who appreciate the finer aspects of tobacco.

I have a thread there, thanks to the suggestion of one member who is a nationally syndicated newspaper columnist, where I simply post, well, much the same as I often post here, just a few things about my travels around the country. I named the thread "Where the Pipe Smolders" in keeping with the theme of the forums even though it lives in the "Off Topic" section of the forums, Kind of a take off on the soap opera names.

I rarely pay attention to things like the number of posts in a thread or the number of reads, but tonight I noticed that thread has 431 posts and 5,768 reads. I find the reads number to be amazing. I think it's a really boring-assed thread. It's just the crap I do out here every day and the places I visit from time to time. I truly find it hard to believe anyone could have the remotest interest in what I consider to be my boring, everyday experiences.

Well, folks need something to read I suppose. I am just happy to be a member there as I find the fellowship to be invaluable and all of the members to be Ladies and Gentlemen of the highest caliber.

Most people do not travel more than 100 miles form their home.  You do every day, so of course we read your stuff - to find out what is going on - from a real person viewpoint - around the country!
