the thing about gingerly touching their tips make me suspect that maybe this guy's just lj.

I found ILX while searching for an optical power meter calibration service for unsupported stuff made by http://www.ilxlightwave.com/, like so many other photonics guys.

i've always thought that ilx was a big lightwave fan board, and we're such fanatics that we don't even need to mention ILX Lightwave anymore because we already know everything about it

You seemed to have come on the scene with an almost unnatural awareness of ilx history and lore.

Heh, at the time, I thought I was doing the right thing by reading the iconic old threads, like when I was in a fraternity in college, and new members were encouraged to familiarize themselves with fraternity history to demonstrate commitment and cement the bonds of belonging. So when the alumni came around, they'd feel flattered and connected that you knew that member a had an infamous nervous breakdown in 89, and member b did a risque interpretive dance with a yam, and member c was the guy that didn't talk to anyone and microwaved carrots for 5 hours.

@am0n: thank you for that poster. finally, a game that lets me know electronically who wins. you'd think it would let me know photonically , though.

tho I have no memory of posting that "srlsy" post, so it just stands now as a mesmerically dull example of a drunk post. think I was just trying to respond dm's post with "how could we possibly buy that?" but really my intent is as foggy to me now as my execution of that intent was then.
