Hi There!

I'm Bill MacKenty. I enjoy an occasional pipe, maybe once every 2 or 3 weeks. I have some pipes from Poland, and I recently discovered some good tobacco, but I'm definitely a newbie. I'm still learning about this stuff. Bmackenty 10:53, 29 March 2008 (EDT)

Welcome to pipe smoking, and Pipedia, Bill. Thanks very much for your help. This project is my only experience with Mediawiki, or wikis in general. Thanks for checking into the possibility of organizing things with categories, and anything else you might think worth exploring! All the best. In pipes, --sethile 18:41, 29 March 2008 (EDT)

Wow Bill! Thanks very much for all your work on the categories! Been very busy but hope to get some time to play around with the possibilities. I really appreciate all your work on this! --sethile 17:51, 2 April 2008 (EDT)
ah. no problem. I'm almost done; I hope to finish the United States tomorrow. Truth be told, once I'm done with this, I want to focus on the Polish pipe section. It's fun to contribute. Bmackenty 20:21, 2 April 2008 (EDT)

I'll be at the pipe show April 5 2008 in NYC. Perhaps I'll run into some of you! Bmackenty 10:26, 5 April 2008 (EDT)

Oh man, do I ever wish I was there! Let us know how it was, Bill. I'll be in Chicago in May, and get to all the rest I can. April is a tough month for me to get away ;( --sethile 14:21, 5 April 2008 (EDT)

Hi, Because, I discovered you are the original author of article "Masta" my first question is: Did you anytime see or research for original Masta patent? I attempted to find this patent in UK, but seems the patents from the possible years were destroyed during WWII. Also I did not found any of Masta patent in US. Second, I grew in Poland and start smoking pipes there, but I do not have a single Polish pipe. What pipes from Poland do you have? Aserafin (talk)
