No matter what the nominal topic was at Knox, if it went on very long, it always seemed to end up illuminating some aspect of what life is about and how it works. I know, for my own part, I learned one heck of a lot there (some of which I unfortunately tend to forget and have to re-learn, but we do what we can I guess) and I wouldn't be surprised if others didn't get something out of it as well, from being parties ...

Some here have great Tobacco shops in close proximity to there homes. Then there are folks like me who are without a local scene at all. Then comes this board with all the talk of Pipes and Tobacco a guy could want. I for one am very thankful for what Jason started and all of us have contributed to. I think its time to embrace what we have, respect it and each other and continue like the brothers we are...

You may notice down where it says who's online that every so often a bot will be listed. It may say Google, MSN or some other search entity. These are just the search engine's indexing bots. They crawl the site to update their index. So they are harmless. You'd think with as many names the tech industry comes up with they'd be able to have different names for things so there wasn't as much confusion.

I don't blame the retail outlets for creating a board for their websites or with the same name as their stores. I would probably do it if I owned a retail outlet. it is a great marketing tool. The problem that I have with it is in the way it ends up getting moderated, in that it is economically driven. An example of what I mean by that is, if there is a real jerk on the board and ...

MUCH easier to read and navigate, imo

Sometimes clarity and contrast is the best answer.]]> The Mile Marker Fri, 14 Dec 2007 19:45:49 GMT http://brothersofbriar.forumotion.com/the-mile-marker-f11/the-full-scale-reformat-of-ten-minutes-ago-t84.htm#737 http://brothersofbriar.forumotion.com/the-mile-marker-f11/the-full-scale-reformat-of-ten-minutes-ago-t84.htm http://brothersofbriar.forumotion.com/the-mile-marker-f11/mens-shaving-forum-t132.htm Midnight Blues
