Can you imagine what will happen when we have 2x the forum traffic and threads? And then double that amount? Finding specific info will be very difficult.
LOL, forum threads here never seem to have a problem. I have been on numerous forums where the pat answer to every thread was "do a search, that question has been asked numerous times before".
In which case, people have no need to actually join or log in, everything useful must already be archived.
Back on topic, hijacked threads are some of the most entertaining to read. The OP can always ask to return to his concern, which I respect and will do. But if it weren't for some of you jackers, I probably would not spend as much time on BLF as I do.
It is your attitude, illustrated by that comment, that permeates this entire place. It is infectious. And it is what makes this place such fun and entertaining while also serving its serious purpose, which is educate and promote flashlights as a hobby.
