I don't consider myself as a fan of binoculars, much less an expert, I've only owned 6 binoculars in my life and currently only 2, I find this binocular forum extremly nerdy, much more nerdy than birding, which already is pretty nerdy, I'm constantly amazed about the ridiculous discussions going on here... and still I keep writing things here.  I mostly feel bad about it, I regularly try to quit, it makes me feel better when I post stuff above in the real birdforum, where there are knowledgeable people discussing bird IDs, conservation and taxonomy without never ever venturing down into the depth of the binocular section, still I keep writing here...Why is that? Ok, men like toys, bins are nice toys, I enjoy using my binocular, and sometimes take it out even if no birds are around... But still, writing hundreds of posts in disucussions speculating, discussing minute details, haggling over legal, commercial or technical stuff nobody in the forum has the slightest clue about... really? Ok, I mostly do it when I have important work to do and need to procrastinate (like right now), but then, why not keep to the birding section ???I suspect there might be more people around with similar issues. For sure there are several very long-standing birders around who only post in the binoculars section and never above where the birders are. Why? Why do you do that? And is there a way out?</blockquote>
