Banthai Quits Lasers

[lasersbee]

there ya go .... good bye .... i have become very distant recently .... mostly because i have been working in foriegn countries and also because of the lack of safety i have seen ( not with the majority of the posters here on the PL forum i would like to add ) but more with the "Wicked Sith", shit thats been happening .... (has anyone noticed how close the words sith and shit are alike ? )

I Love Lasers ... i have even admitted im a laserholic .... and i will always will be ....

but today .... this post with someone asking about why the galvos on their 5W laser are not performing how they should ...

kicks me up the ass ..... who whould run a 5W laser in their lounge ( on ishow software) without knowing how galvos work ...... sorry guys .... i have always loved the fun and banter here .... and would always help ... but 5 WATTS of LASER and someone who does not have a clue .... time to get out .... this is not personal to the poster of that thread ... but just the way in general that lasers seem to be going

I will carry on being a member of ILDA this year and thanks to all that have been a part of my life here over the last many years.. i will make a thankyou thread when i have calmed down a bit .... but i dont want to be a part of the Big Accident


all the best .... Karl

Karl.... what's wrong with you...

Why throw in the towel for some clueless noob...
I'm sure you didn't sell him that 5Watt projector...
I'm sure there are hundreds like him all over the globe...
You staying will be more help to these poor clueless
"experts" than you leaving....

Just my $0.02 Cnd...

exactly! saying "screw it - later guys!" does not help the community... trying to beat sense into people buying their "first 5W projector" does

Karl, if you give up the obsession that is your choice; may I have the Beast? I hope you change your mind but if you don't, you'd better still hang out and post the shitte you normally post. It may not be often but it ia always enjoyed.

Kick the cat, spit the dummy, smoke a pile of cigarettes, get drunk, run amok, get laid, what ever it takes but get over it before the gay group hug photos appear!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW, Nobody ever really leaves PL... It's like a black hole.

Ok, one person left once, but he comes back every now and then.

Perhaps Karl wants to spend more time on his other hobbies..........


But in case it's just a plea for a hug, well, come on guys.
Oil up and take one for the Team!!

Is that better now, HoneyBuns?

[dnar]

Right!

Now I'm leaving!

[soforene]

Don't be so dramatic !!

What's the worst that can happen?

[Jem]

Nooooooo..., Karl, don't do it!

We need you here, your sense of humour, your sarcasm, your knowledge, your ideas will all be sadly missed if you decide to go.

Grab yourself a bar of chocolate and think it over

Are you going to come over to the ShowLEM in early July?, that should rekindle your interest and show you what a great bunch of guys you'll be missing. If you get lucky Soffy might even give you a hug .

Take care

^^^^ What he said.

Better still, grab a big pack of balloons and pop them suckers with the biggest baddest laser you have. I am sure you will feel better after that...

Just be sure to wear appropriate safety glasses!
