When I started following rbw discussions four years ago it seems like there were frequent debates about things like carbon vs steel that would go on for days with literally hundreds of posts. I understand that for long term members those debates were just a tedious rehash of stuff that they had seen here before but to a new member like me they were really compelling and I miss them. These days I just pop in from time to time to see what’s for sale but I happened to click on this and got a little nostalgic.
