Speedy's post made me wonder if all my off topic and food and beverage posts were dragging the forum down.
I have read a few times that forums aren't favored by younger people so they are dying out as we old fogeys die out.
  I don't get the distinction between forums and social media.  It seems to me that forums are similar to Facebook/reddit etc. where we publish everything from profundity to embarrassing confessions.

At least you got out and pulled a trigger! Most of the rest of us can't say that.

I assume you'll be mounting that trophy over your fireplace?
