Coffee October 11, 2016, 04:57:34 pm Hello Good People. We'd like to be sure that we don't cross any boundaries with "Around the Campfire" topics. I thought I had read something about this a year ago or so, but simply can't remember. So can someone with a better memory help me to remember the protocol on this matter? And thanks in advance for helping me to stay out of hot water.

That said, it's really a catch-all forum and you can discuss just about anything you want except those infamous hot topics, and we all know what they are. For example, I stretched it a bit last week in asking about loosing messages on Yahoo. I felt that was OK since there are a ton of Yahoo users here. You may see a reference to something about "coffee" from time to time. It's sort of a standing joke because way back at the inception of this forum, we drifted off to a long, long thread on how to make coffee while camping. It went on and on until it finally ran out of "steam". If the topic belongs in another forum, one of us or Michelle will redirect it. So...not to worry. BTW, there are 684 messages with "coffee" in the message. Of course, not all are about making it. If a topic does seem unsuitable or maybe goes on forever or perhaps devolves into unseemly territory, then a moderator will usually chime in and shut it down.Chris 2 Likes

Re: LDO Forum Topic Clarification Reply #3 – October 11, 2016, 06:35:37 pm Coffee! I wasn't around for the original thread. My son is a big shot in Third Wave coffee (bragging), so I have become a coffee snob (humble bragging), It's certainly a topic that can go on and on, with never ending arcane side trips to Portlandia like discussions. Is it time to discuss this camp essential again?

The section on "Conduct" covers it (basically no politics, weapons rights, religious topics, etc.), pretty similar to most forums' user agreements.MichelleP.S. Make ours one latte each morning.

Re: LDO Forum Topic Clarification Reply #13 – October 13, 2016, 06:47:06 pm Well, since we are on the subject of coffee now, we had the opportunity to visit the Mountain Thunder plantation while vacationing on the big island of Hawaii. I highly recommend their Kona coffee. A bit pricey but good!Kona Coffee at Mountain Thunder -- Simply the best!

Re: LDO Forum Topic Clarification Reply #20 – October 18, 2016, 07:31:35 pm I love the aroma of coffee, but never developed a taste for (nor mocha candy/ice cream/etc.), but I do enjoy the tasteful comments on this thread--I needed a smile after this evening's rush hour dustup in KC--nobody hurt, and just a little scuff mark on the bumper, but this is a much better place to be right now.By-the-by...perhaps a diversion from one sort of fuel to another. Gas in Chillicothe is $2.09, but I've seen it for $2.05, $1.97, & about to fill up for $1.85 on the way up I-35 through Kearney. What's it like elsewhere? (They have coffee at those places, too.)
