I`ve often wondered this myself....be interesting to find out.....is Flashaholism purely a male infliction or what?
Do you really think a female would identify herself as one in this arena?

Sure, why not? I don't think the forum's members are sexist or anything. I don't think a woman would be hit on here.

I hope you're right, but I wouldn't do it if it were me.
I've been playing on the 'net since the late '80s, and you would not BELIEVE the number of times I've been hit on, because of the way I spell my name.

Perhaps there's less testosterone associated with flashlights than with weapon-type tools and recreational equipment. I certainly think there's less aggression associated with them.
Nice joke, btw.

Well, there is a certain phallic similarity with most flashlights.
Just kidding, just kidding!
Besides, some of the coolest ones are nontraditional... Eternalight, all the Photon-types, Satcure's microtorch, etc, etc.
ANYWAY... my wife thinks I'm nuts, too.

Hate to break it to you Al, but the "meth" he's referring to is "methamphetamines," not "methane."
(Gee, I hope I didn't fall for a joke by Al.)

Gadget, what's a Satcure microtorch ?
No I`m not Gadget in disguise, but I do know what that thing is.
It`s the 1-cell kit from the UK that everyone`s been talking about on the LED board- the circuit that takes a 1.5 volt cell and steps up to run a white led. The thing that needs those ferrite beads.

I know no one will believe me but my wife thinks LED flashlights are pretty cool.
She watches over my shoulder as I convert a flashlight from incandescent to LED and she watches each test when it's done. As a backpacker, she thinks a flashlight that's small and runs forever compared to an incandescent of similar size is really great.

Getting back to the actual topic of this thread, though, we don't see your wife on this board, though-- only you.

I would like to hope that we have a forum in which the female can openly discuss.
Hope and life work out differently sometimes.
Do we all hope deep down that somewhere there is a female that is interested in and happy to discuss flashlights, and that she will one day make herself known?!

Doesn't look like it's happened yet, Al.
Btw, sorry for the long absence from the forum. Been waiting on DSL, and busy at work. I can't believe they actually want me working on *their* priorities, instead of keeping up to date with CPF.
Silly bosses!

Welcome back Kris - what lights did you buy with all the extra $$$'s from working so hard ?
Incidentally, a lady friend of mine is on holiday in Cannes, France at the moment.
She phoned me in London, using her mobile at a cafe, to tell me -
"Hey, Jahn, I've just this moment seen my first SureFire - there were three of them !
One was the small silver one !!
And the other two were small black ones !!!"
Sally is cute
And smart too
Naturally, I asked her to make sure she gets full info on prices and range, the name of the shop, etc.

[ HI Sally - now will you please look at the topic on voltage regulators, it's really interesting, you'd like it ...... ]
