Flashlight Enthusiast
I apologize if my posts came across as sniping. It hit a sensitive spot with me because I used to be that guy, who was all about the light being perfect. I had to learn to get over it. It was driving me crazy not to be able to use my lights.My D10 has the mismatch, but it's the sort of thing I only noticed after I read this thread, and even then only after I shone another torch on it. Call me weird, but I think it actually looks good.
I've gotta say, the threads with users sniping at other users for daring to have different torch priorities are starting to get me down
In fact, I would get really upset over any dings or scratches, or any minor imperfection in my lights. I was miserable. I had to really do a gut level check, and decide what was important, and what was not. Now that I have let this go as a personal issue, I'm much happier.
Yes I still get sad / upset if my lights are not perfect, but I'm so much happier, and more productive. So I'm basically sharing with others, don't be like me, that guy who used to worship lights, and be afraid to use them.
I guess in a way I was sniping at my old self.
Hope you understand. The new me is very happy despite these flaws in the lights. I can live with them, and make the lights work for me.
Cheers.
PS - the anal retentative part of me is still there. I put 2 layers of screen protectors on my cellphone, along with a hard case, and then put that in a leather case. I'm working on my OCD, one step at a time. First it's with flashlights, next will be cellphones, and finally onto bigger and better things. Watch the movie "As Good As It Gets" - it highlights OCD as a problem (and maybe a blessing) pretty well.
