Here's just a friendly suggestion from a passerby.

Like in almost every other online message board we can start or engage in a discussion we don't care about too much and then get carried away and not notice how we have spent countless hours discussing something which wasn't worth our time or debating / arguing about something we should know better we will likely never reach a consensus on over the internet.

Life is short, remember why you are here: you are either into laser for the business, the artistic side, the scientific side, or all of the above. While there's a dedicated subforum for random discussion, try to keep it a short and spend your time on something productive and useful to you.

If you want to argue over or discuss some non-laser related issue, I suggest doing it with friends over a drink.

That's all, have a nice day.
