@Artchoo Since you asked directly, I’ll answer directly. I am extremely interested in the history of snuff. However, I find things like “Mrs Peterson threw out MR Peterson’s snuffbox as she could no longer take the old man’s dirty habits” as relevant to the study of snuff history as reporting on a random murder is to the study of criminology.
I appreciate that you put plenty of time and effort into your endeavors, but most just don’t hit home with me. I speak for no one but myself. I am sure that many here do find your work interesting. I appreciate your effort, but most just don’t grab me to the point where I’ve probably thrown the baby out with the bathwater as I tend to pass by these posts.
Certainly, your posts keep the board awake and alive, and for that I commend you. I’m interested in hearing others’ takes as well.
Best of everything in the new year,
Zan
