From: aaron pelz <??????????????????> Subject: Rants I agree with Doug Friedman. I too have been treated very poorly in my many of my recent visits to pipe and cigar shops. although I know nothing of the store he visited, I do empathize with him. Now, I do not look like your "average" pipe and cigar smoker. I am a 22 yr old college student with little money. And I look like it. I only wear jeans and tshirts. But that doesnt mean I do not know my fair share about the art of smoking. I would just like to warn shop owners of dismissing their customers before giving them their fair chance. So, if a young scruffy looking kid comes into your shop, give him the time of day. He has many friends that smoke as well. And they have many friends as well. you see where I am going with this. ----------------------------------------- Aaron Pelz ?????????????????? ????????????? [Totally agreed. That young scruffy kid might just be editing the 3D Realtime High Definition Video Multimedia Pipes Digest on the Mobile Quadraphonic UltraHyperMaxiMegaWeb. (And if so, I'd appreciate his URI, and a Linux plugin for Netscape.) -S.] ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U
