What a long strange trip it's been...

Greetings all,

I was just thumbing through the old addy book (yes I keep one, don't you??)
and started to look way back at the front... I started this long journey around the fall of '03.
By the journey I mean this internet thingie of boards and newsgroups. I started on a newsgroup for info on setting up a humidor for my recent arrival of some refugees from the ISOM, and soon was on my first board. I had at that point been smoking cigars occasionally, and buying as I smoked them. My first was a small board that was close knit and a lot of fun, with exchanges, pif's and outright bombs. Made a bunch of close friends that are still with me through my travels.
Sadly that board didnt survive and most of us migrated to another, with some splitting off to a huge board where I occasionally read and post.
But yet again I moved on, a disagreement on ethics.... moved on again to another small board, where I still post and read daily. I settled (I thought) and was enjoying everything.... and then the sale.... now I'm here, I hope it's not me...'cuz if this goes down I think I'll have to take a time out from the boards

So.... how many 'homes' have you had over your journey??
