Cool - thanks!

Good memories, at the time I almost peed myself I was laughing so hard.

Do you have to post your website link on every single post you make?
Why not post stuff on the forum, instead of using the forum to increase footfall on your blog? Other folk on here have their own website/blog, but they don't feel the need to constantly advertise it.
It is getting as annoying as shoe spam.

Only 2 or 3? Really? Everyone of your posts has a link to your blog! Or do you not count your blue tag as a link?

Maybe it doesn't bother anyone else, but now i've noticed it, it just shouts 'SPAM' at me every time i look at a stove thread.

That response makes no sense in the context of what you quoted.

"Maybe it doesn't bother anyone else, but now i've noticed it, it just shouts 'SPAM' at me every time i look at a stove thread."

It's basically a signature, akin to a logo on a business card. It's not spam, it's not only legit, but it's a sensible practice, one which I follow myself -- though not so much on here, because BPL's crappy forum software doesn't seem to have a signature setting. I suppose I could start adding my own signature manually.... hm.

This is, btw, the ONLY forum I've ever encountered where nearly no one includes a signature in their posts.

Well, not quite correct. We automatically include your user name, your locale and your avatar with every posting.

Cheers

Mike,
Jim's a great guy and isn't doing anything wrong. If you don't like it, don't read his posts. Stop hatin' and thread hijaking, will ya'?

The Borde Bomb IS Da' Bomb, by the way !

"Well, not quite correct. We automatically include your user name, your locale and your avatar with every posting."

If it included (optionally) a link to one's web site, I would agree.

I like the link. I don't go there very often, but once I a while I do go take a peek. Much more convenient than adding a bookmark to my browser. And it is pretty easy to ignore it and not click the right mouse button.

I agree. It's also far more convenient than clicking his profile and finding the link to his blog there. Having to insert a signature into every post manually is a bug.

-B.G.- is spam too

Cameron, would you like to clarify your post?

--B.G.--

Bob,

Can't speak for Cameron, but to me it was innocent enough and no disrespect intended. You usually finish a post with your "signature" and apparently someone feels that signatures are akin to spam.

Nick, if you read around the threads, others are surprised that there is no facility for a signature on a post, at least here at BPL.

So, yes, Cameron really ought to clarify.

--B.G.--

Really, guys?
This is ridiculous. Can we all just give it a rest and get back to the main topic of the Borde Bomb stove?

M

Here, here. :)

Speaking of which, got any cool photos of the Borde out in the wild for us?

Not until next Friday when a buddy and i go hike the McKenzie River Trail up near the Three Sisters. Should be good and cold :)

Nice. Post a few pics if you get a chance.

Don't bring the hardware cloth (if that's what you're using for a pot support) in too close to the flame. It should be fine generally, but if too close it could weaken in the flame. I never had a problem with mine when using a 0.9L pot, but it occurs to me that it could be an issue.

Ok, i accept most folk don't find advertising tags annoying.
Peace
