Whoa there, fella! Too much testosterone leaking out of this thread. Thrilled as I am to find out that forums for people that shoot others in the head professionally exist and are harshly moderated, what exactly does this have to do with folding saws?
Actually, I know the answer to that.... However, in my humble opinion, jumping down the throat of a new guy asking an innocent question is not the best way to engender a friendly forum , or attract new members to it. Secondly, the premise behind such an allegation - that all questions on kit etc have already been answered in the past - is somewhat facile, even allowing for an excellent search engine! For example, a year ago I wouldn't have been able to comment on this particular thread about the effectiveness of the Bob Dustrude folding saw, as I only bought one 9 months ago!
Things change over time - its called evolution, and is equally as valid for kit and procedures as it is for the animal kingdom. Sure, it does mean that occasionally the same points come up again and again, but its also true that as time elapses, faults not apparent in kit during its launch become evident and worthy of note/comment.
So go easy on the new guys, eh? If you really need it, there are places you can go that specialise in handing out your required levels of discipline
Here here!
I find that the great thing with Internet forums is that if you see a thread you don't like, you just don't read it!
BCUK has always been a family friendly forum, and I don't think dumping on the new folks is cool or in the spirit of the forum As for the reference about other forums where people shoot people "in the face", well that does not sit easy with me, but then perhaps I'm just too soft!
....Really!
