I deleted the post trying to keep the peace. I didn't "forget" you quoted it.

Well that only took 7 minutes....

…when folks use humor to mask their serious replies. Make it sound like a silly and humorous thing.

I'm not sure if that's what he was doing, but there's definitely no shortage of it in this thread and on the forum.

Hey Monochrom, do you visit exo, pereplet, jetlag?

 

[Monocrom]

That would be a negative to all three.

Why is it that sometimes members feel the need to toss in a lit match and burn it all down?

And name calling (I'm guilty as well)

 

[Fuzzywuzzies]

Well, this was fun.

Seriously though, @TPA, amidst all of the malarkey and hilarity, have we managed to change your mind?

Certainly eye-opening, if nothing else.

I did not call anyone a name. Don't make stuff up.

Almost ended up buying that Sofirn model. But the magnetic tailcap killed it for me. I'm not into those.

all call them key losers. my keys always ataches and then drops off lol

For me the issue is, I like to wear automatic watches. Watch on my left wrist. Main EDC light in my left pants pocket. So, of course, light and watch next to each other. Watch gets magnetized, stops working. Yes, I can buy a cheap de-magnetizer off of eBay, but same issue will keep happening. As for keys, a small, cheap aluminum carabiner attached to the key-ring and then clipped onto a belt-loop would prevent Lost Key Syndrome.

You just described my whole setup! I've also got my spare battery holder/secondary light in my right pocket, but the one I always reach for first is in the left pocket.
