WOW....just WOW...I have read this entire thread....Because there are many members of PL, that I highly respect, that have added to this ...er...ah..." Discussion "..and... that I have posted several things at Hobby Laser....I am compelled to weigh in here.
.
Over the years...I have contributed a fair body of information...to PL and LPF. Both of these sites have their....pros and cons....it depends on one's end use/interest. It would be unfair to " Pigeon Hole " PL,LPF HL...or EAE as only good for a single interest.
.
All these sites have multiple topics..."on multiple levels...in multiple dimensions" !! My own personal interests have been very much
" Cross-over "....as can be seen as an path of evolution...or...perhaps to some..." De-evolution " Regardless...I have shared my journey's....sometimes in more detail than welcome....and...shared my sense of humor !!!!!
.
The bottom line is...that each site has different gifts to offer.....we can pick and choose !!! I think there is room for ALL the sites....and I visit them all...and will continue to !!!!
.
I am not trying to be the " Peace Maker " here....not really....as this thread...was entertaining at times....and painful at other times !!
.
Just thought I'd throw in...FWIW....for I am grateful for all the forms...promoting our hobby !!
