Agreed 100%Of course so much of this thread is likely speculation but thinking some consider a thread closed as a bad thing. I believe that the objective of the moderator(s) was to keep threads to the point and when the question was answered, close the thread so as not to have future viewers waste time with tangential rambling that we members are so prone to engage.
Was pride involved? Yes but wanting something that you watch over to be accurate and useful is not a bad thing.
When a person is not getting paid to provide a service, it is downright natural to not be interested in being polite, not interested in wasting time with asides, balloons and posers. Some people like to chew the fat, others want that meat now and move on to the next thing.
That is pretty much obvious to anyone who knows how optics and light sources work, this is not an example of depth of insight, just basic knowledge of optics.
Pete was robbed to pay Paul.I kinda enjoyed playing the game. Would my post vanish or remain? It took a few tries to figure out what would remain and what would vanish. I didn't see the big deal. It's not like the world championship was at stake or people will die if my post gets removed. It's a chat board for Pete's sake....speaking of Pete, so where's Pete Yetman?
I believe there has been a couple people here with split personalitiesI honest to goodness thought they were the same person posting to boost their own ego and never could figure out how nobody noticed it. Guess I was wrong.
very well could be the case, right after ownership of the forum changed, few people that have not posted for years, suddenly logged in just to say how valuable of a member he is and how forum needs them. lol, it was so unnatural, and fake, that no one would believe it. now if he did that split personality thing, he may have logged into dormant accounts and post as if it was those people. It is pretty low and lame, but from those two, or one, it would not be unexpected.I honest to goodness thought they were the same person posting to boost their own ego and never could figure out how nobody noticed it. Guess I was wrong.
Yup, me too.Edited. Nevermind...
Norm?!?!? The australian guy? he was a strict rule follower but i can not say a bad word about him even thou he did removed few of my images. He actually did go out of his way and got me a light only available in australia, and send it to me to nyc, He actually volunteered to do that. I had no idea he passed away, RIP Norm.
I looked up the word traduce and a bunch of its synonyms, which made me hungry from all of the brain activity so I made a sandwich and fell asleep. I dreamed of synonyms until they were replaced with cinamin, so I woke up hungry and thinking of the word maligned.My nemesis was Norm, but I can't traduce him due to it being really bad form ...... plus he's dead, and therefore can't defend his actions.
