Up until three years ago I had never owned a gun in my life. After a series of very informative posts about guns, bears, guns, self-defense, and guns on the former solotripping.com site, I bought a nice used Ithaca Model 38 shotgun with two barrels -- on some sort of flimsy rationalization that I could bring it on certain canoe trips or at least practice with it. I've never used it.
The recent knife threads on this site, which I'm now heavily involved in, no doubt "made me" buy three fixed blade knives this month.
I'm sure there are many other examples of "the canoe forum made me do it" purchases. Thank goodness I didn't participate in canoe forums until 2008.
