Chi

Just over 1 year ago you hit 1K now you've passed the 3K mark. Congratulations.

I frequently learn interesting stuff from your posts and you seem to offer up odd and detailed technical snippets on all sorts of things. And of course I now know more than I ever needed to know about flashlights.

I thought we weren't celebrating post counts anymore?! Or at least not intermediate milestones that don't mean anything... ;)

Thanks guys, I can never tire of this place, the positive spirit of fellow members and the endless generosity... It truly is a treasure and I feel blessed to be a apart of it.

I'm glad I could impart whatever info others find useful, as I seem to have a knack for retaining otherwise useless trivia.

And speaking of torches, I'm awaiting Tigerlight to approve an international order of a super premium battery pack and 4th generation lamp module for my Tigerlight FBOP. It seems I'm one of very few of their customers outside of North America (not helped by the battery charger's AC powerpack being 110V) and currently having difficulty in ordering on their site. This is by far my brightest torch, even though the Surefires remain my most used. :)
