Knowledge is power you know. When I use Google to find reviews on items, especially on flashlight related stuff, both forums, wether this one or CPF, contain valuable information.
A lot of us here came from there. We know how political it was there. I have been there and seen it myself. Money was involved. I can’t speak for present time, but I was there 6 years ago with over 1000 post. I’m not going into details but I have been here ever since.
