Seems like we've gotten several variants on the "Which Becker should I buy first?" question lately.

So, I did a quick search, and here are some of the results...

If you don't want to do anymore reading, here's the summary - buy any one of them. Then buy the rest.

But...

How will you be a Beckerhead without posting all these threads??? And what easier thread than 'What Becker should I buy?'???

Then again, seems like no new Beckerheads right now anyways, I applied quite a while ago and no such luck. Think I should start another thread or something...

Hang in there. Looks like you only applied at the beginning of this month. In the requirements it says that it can take up to 30 days. Mine took about that. I think they try and check it once a month or so.

I only partially agree with your concurrence. But I wholeheartedly support your logic, however flawed it may be. One cannot partially concur.....

Now, Dunk 'em.....you've summarized this concisely and with a great deal of insight, but you've taken the joy out of my sails in choosing which of those threads to ignore. I believe I shall have to be more concise in my recommendation (to avoid confusion for the noobz) and say I recommend the Becker everyone else is recommending. See? Clear as the coating on a BK-39.

Crystal. I never intended to obfuscate your true recommendation by seeming to imply an endorsement of my generalized endorsement of a slow beginning to ultimate hoarding.

I don't mean to complain or bother the Mods, just being patient is hard work. I can wait better when I have a finite time to wait ;)

of our long list of mods... a couple aren't around as much, nobody likes me, and guyon is super. ethan could do it, but he's resting.

i'll look at the backlog perhaps and see what's going on.

mostly just haven't had time. you can tell by my infrequent posting.

yeah, really no worries here, it's not like it's time sensitive or anything. I can always keep playing with my knives :D

good job!

i'm wondering if we can edit the ?... stuff off, and shorten the urls (like it did there), and quote them or something to get full text ...

eventually it seems the forums degrades a URL - you can't cut and paste them as text, and then everything is lost

I just found a whole new set of emojis that I never knew existed.

Well, you've hit 1000 posts without doing a GAW. Fixing that can't hurt your case.

Or maybe you should use reverse psychology. Call all the mods names and tell them you don't want to be in their stupid club.

Or do like I did and withdraw your application because you remember you don't like belonging to things.

To be fair, all you need for the link to work is the 8-number suffix after the 'showthread.php/' part, I just delete the text and if it's important I put the link in the text itself, like so:

Ok. I think I've got it. I've never hyperlinked text here before, so hopefully it works.
