mini rant

I was just looking at another forum (a very active forum) and i have noticed a few things. All the good info on that forum is watered down and sometimes (often) flat out wrong.
For example:
a thread that i just read through was talking about cedar wrapped cigars. the question was would it affect the flavor if the cedar was taken off the cigar before it was aged. To me the answer is simple. Yes. Everything has an impact on flavor even if you dont know it. however, their thread had something like 6 or 7 posts before the actual question was addressed. they ended up discussing the cedar causing MOLD.
cedar does not cause mold. moisture does. I have never once had mold in my humidor. why? i dont let my RH get out of hand. If any of those people over there had any clue they would know that if you hold your sticks at 65% and not 70% there is a darn good chance you will NEVER see mold (cedar on the cigar or not)
the point isnt the mold or the topic of the thread. the point is they were unfocused and down right mean when someone suggested that they lower their RH. there is nothing i hate more than a cigar snob. its ok to express that you dont like a cigar but dont put it down. I like gurkha. a good amount of people on that board dont. i mention that i do and all of a sudden i have no taste. iduno.
thats why this board is great. no cigar snobs. no poor information. plenty of discussion and we all have a say.
wasnt much of a rant but i feel better.

Interesting topics + interesting people + good information/conversation + not a lot of BS = A great place to be.
This is the first forum that I found and joined. Enjoy it very much, I do admit that I do more of reading the posts then actually posting.
