Experience with Cateye HL-EL320?

Andre Jute said:

I'm still looking for a front flashing light. I have dynamo and
battery lights to illuminate the road but none of them have a flashing
capability. The Reelights can unfortunately not be fitted to my bike.
So, does anyone have experience with the Cateye HL-EL320? (1)

1) I have the Cateye LD1100 rear flasher and it is satisfactory when
the batteries are fresh, less so when they are have a some hours on
them.

The esteemed Carl Fogel is the premier world authority on this
particular light, I suggest you contact him with your worries and
nervously pulsing heart.

I think Andre's looking at too modest a light. He should get two car
headlights, and wire them so they're always on high beam. Two car
taillights can be added to the rear, plus brake lights and side marker
lights. Plenty of light!

Power is no problem, because he can get as much as he needs by simply
extending two wires forward, in front of his bicycle.

P.S. Oh - did I forget to mention the truck that powers the
setup? ;-)

Good thing you did - because if you hadn't mentioned the truck, why, you'd
be a liar, right?

(p.s. I called Andre a liar days ago but he hasn't said anything - probably
because I was right.)

Are you confusing an "esteemed Carl Fogel" with "a steamed Carl
Fogel"?

Steamed or Southern Fried, he still serves up some tasty tidbits of
bike arcanery.

Nah, that wouldn't be very green. Rechargeable batteries, I think.
Some dumb Polack [censored] can run behind my bike carrying the
batteries. You fit the job description of an excessively dumb Polack
[censored] perfectly, Krygowski.

Too bad that I already caught that immoral scumbag Carl Fogel lying
through his teeth for personal gain. I expect, on recent evidence
plastered all over this newsgroup, that Fogel will lie about the light
as well, just to get back at me for exposing his petty character and
his slithery, slimy backstabbing methods.

Personal gain? As in 'Fogel's absconding to Switzerland with his hoard
of ill-gotten gains'?

Eh? The "paranoiac [you mean 'paranoid'] ravings" you snipped are
about a Cateye front light. Do we understand you correctly that you
are against bicyclists taking safety precautions after dark? What
could your reasons possibly be?

Not unless Fogel has found a Swiss Bank who will take his self-esteem
as the top dungbeetle of his little heap, and his smug satisfaction in
his "style", as security. It was all explained here in the thread
*Krygowski dobs in Fogel's fear of "flamboyant" newbie*:

Wherever you think your "contribution" will cause most disruption of
