Is the “Ask…” section archived anywhere? I’d found some of the past comments quite useful.

The entire contents of the Ask page are at the link, however for older comments you’d have to click back a few pages.

Hello. I have a couple of questions still being new to O.R.S. and all. The first question is probably very simple, and it goes as follows. Do you have a list compiled or compiling of domestic incense retailers and or wholesalers? The second question is a little more complex and will take more than one answer I’d guess. I would like to know how many people you have reviewing incense at O.R.S. and if you , they would be so kind as to describe to me in some detail their, your incense preferences and what charachteristics you look for in a particular incense and why? I realize the second question may be a little more formidable but it will surely help me to undertsand your reviews when I have questions about your summarizations. I have a third question if you will so entertain me. In one of the Tibetan Incense reviews, I think it was a review about a particular dzonga scent and in a part of that review the incense was described asbeing “possibly dangerous”. Being relatively new here and all, I was wondering just how could an incense be “Dangerous”? Now don’t get me wrong , I’m not trying to be cheeky , I am asking this question very seriously and the only regret that I have for asking it, is that I fear I may be missing the punch line or something, except that this appears to be a very well run site with a lot of thought going into what is said and done here, and if there is a way for incense to be dangerous, that is without being loaded or poisonous I’d like to be in the know. Thanks for taking the time to read my questions and I look forward to any and all of the answers that you may have for me. Most sincerely, Robert “The Odifacatuer” Green P.S. I know you will want to know what the heck an “odifacatuer is, if you write me back, I’ll be sure to share that with you! P.P.S. If you don’t have my e-mail address and you need it to write to me personally just let me know here

“Do you have a list compiled or compiling of domestic incense retailers and or wholesalers?”
We have a list of incense retailers on the left side of the home page (towards the bottom), all of which I or the other reviewers have had success with ordering on several occasions. It is not exhaustive, but nor do we intend to be, and on that list we only want to recommend retailers we’ve had personal experience with.
“I would like to know how many people you have reviewing incense at O.R.S. and if you , they would be so kind as to describe to me in some detail their, your incense preferences and what charachteristics you look for in a particular incense and why?”
You can find out a lot of general information about the reviewers by clicking on the About page on the left, but there’s three of us and one of us is on hiatus at the moment. As to the rest of your request, I’d just read through the reviews and get an idea from those as to what we like or not. What I do ask however (and I’m speaking as the site owner here) is that your comments about reviews are directed to the incense and not at any reviewers or readers. If you don’t like a negative review or feel the opposite, you’re welcome to provide a positive and constructive counter review of the incense.
“Being relatively new here and all, I was wondering just how could an incense be “Dangerous”?”
It’s just a way of using the word that’s not as literal as you’ve seemed to interpret it. I meant it in the sense that it’s going to possibly be dangerous to your aromatic aesthetics or maybe your pocketbook, not to your health. That is, it’s recommended to an experimenter rather than a casual incense appreciator.
