I guess I`m in the minority then? An early member who didn`t find this place via Brock`s site.
I got here from the LED Museum, back in the days when it was called "For the Love of LEDs" - infact the entry for it in my favorites menu still says For the Love of LEDs and points to ledmuseum.home.att.net not ledmuseum.org
Anyways, I first found CPF in late 2000 when it was relatively small. I was intrigued as I had always had a fondness for flashlights and a general love of everything electrical that glowed- but moved on as I was still deeply captivated by my newfound discovery of the world of collecting early light bulbs- started when I gained internet access for the first time.
But in the new year, early 2001 I came back for a second look following my re-visiting of the Punishment Zone, where I spent all one evening reading everything there (that was how long ago it was- when someone
could actually read every review in one evening
). I "favorites-sed" CPF and spent ages lurking and reading loads of old posts for a couple weeks, before signing up on January 17th 2001.
I`ve been here ever since, despite recent efforts to keep me out by the guys running the servers and routers. But you can`t keep a Torch Addict away form CPF for long. As it says on the plaque mr Burns fixed to the wall behind Homer`s workstation, after he begged for his job back:
"Don`t forget, you`re here for Life"
