but i fail to see the relevance to this forum, the need for such within the context of what we do, how it is "not showing off"(unless a high altitude mountaineer/pro-diver or member of the SAS) or the objection to my opinion.
hold me in what regard you like, i have no more to say on the subject and have now learnt to not read threads that are essientially "willy waving"
The OP asked a question...in the Brights Gizmos and Toys section and pretty much everyone has contributed in the spirit of the OP. My issue is why you would want to put a buzzkill on the discussion that some people are obviously enjoying?
Read by all means, and contribute but only if in the spirit. This really isn't a willy waving exercise as we all have different passions, and I, for one, am interested in seeing what other people enjoy in life.
