Title: How many members to change a coil? Post by: Richy on October 05, 2009, 10:24:19 AM Q: How many Forum members does it takes to change a coil?
* 1 to change the coil and to post that the coil has been changed. * 14 to share similar experiences of changing coils and how the coil could have been changed differently. * 7 to caution about the dangers of changing coils. * 1 to move it to the detector related section. * 2 to argue then move it to the chit chat section. * 7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about coils. * 5 to flame the spell checkers. * 3 to correct spelling/grammar flames. * 6 to argue over whether it's "coil" or "search head" ... another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid. * 2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "search loop". * 15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "coil" is perfectly correct. * 19 to post that this forum is not about coils and to please take this discussion to a search loop forum. * 11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use coils and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum. * 36 to debate which method of changing coils is superior, where to buy the best coils, what brand of coils work best for this technique and what brands are faulty. * 7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different coils. * 4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's. * 3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this group which makes coils relevant to this group. * 13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too" * 5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the coil controversy. * 4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?" * 13 to say "do a Google search on coils before posting questions about coils". * 1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again. * 1 forum member who actually went and bought one after reading all this advice - and found that it wouldn't fit . . . which started off a new thread about detector retailers and how good/bad they are. So there. ;D Title: Re: How many members to change a coil?
