You find that funny, Ghoster? Well guess what, it isn't.
I got one of those mails too. Thought it would be wise to hide my email address on my profile page, it was visible since I first signed up here 11 years ago.

Tet is spot on. The freelancer in me requires that I make myself contactable at all times. If you're hard to reach, you'll miss out on seriously lucrative deals.

Like this seriously lucrative deal on lighting! I've had my email on display here for seven years and this is the first that's come of it, so it's probably not worth the effort of taking it off.

It's funny because none of you actually use physical lighting and are ridiculing the shit out of this, but if this thing was powerful enough at a reasonable price it could very well be a great deal--Lighting is fucking expensive and you learn to appreciate good deals on things like this.
I had the displeasure of using what must have been around a $100 LED panel (like the ones you see on ebay for $30 but because it's brand name it's 50x more expensive) and I couldn't light anything with it. It had an effective range of about 2 feet. Useless for anything but giving a faint blacklight on my subject.
Yet somebody donated to me a vintage "Movie light for super 8 cameras" and it's nearly as powerful as the professional stage lights we use on production. And it cost $11 brand new back when it was produced. Too bad you can't buy a light that powerful nowadays without shelling out at least $100.

You sound so irrationally angry. People are ridiculing this because it's spam and the robot that sent it didn't know that posting about "lighting" on TWHL isn't going to mean that you're interested in industrial lighting equipment. Don't blow a gasket.

You can buy anything at much lover price if you get to know certain people, especially those who deal with missing oversea shipments and direct factory prices.
By accident i stumbled upon a guy who sells electronic components (such as capacitors, relays, transistors, SMDs, etc) by factory price. Up to 10x cheaper than some places.
Plus you could probably find good deals on garage sales and on-line/real life auctions. Some guy sold expensive LEDs for pretty much 1$ each a few days ago.

You know how sometimes your brain goes really really retarded and mixes two completely unrelated topics together and you make a response based on that and you end up sounding and looking like a complete fucking moron?
Well, for some reason I thought there was a bunch of other shit posted other than "lol got spam in my mail" and now I look like a fucking idiot now that I've reread it and all that extra information is not at all there. I could have sworn there was other information posted that I was responding to, but of course it has since conveniently evaporated from my mind.
I've been working full time on top of going to school full time so I think this is the point of my exhaustion that I must excuse myself from the internet before I really do something embarrassing.
This is PRICELESS!!!
Shares all over the internet.

I wish people emailed me at random... I'm so lonely. D:

Hi there.
