This home away from home.

For a lot of years, ASP has been a home for me - a home on the Internet where I read the meanderings of folks like myself (yeah, and some not so much like myself <g>) who love to smoke pipes and love to talk about tobaccos, pipes and all the other stuff that goes along with them.

It's an anachronism this ASP...alt.smokers.pipes is an antique, just as Usenet itself is an antique. I'm just glad that in the light of Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and a hundred or more other GUI and otherwise applicable aps, ASP survives.

So, no real point to this I guess...just here's a bowl in your honor guys and gals of ASP...my thanks to you all for being here.
