What did your company do for the amateur community today Greg?
ATWB/AstroMart has nothing to be ashamed of as it pertains to donating back
to the community - how about your glass house?

Glass house? That is an illogical response. I never once accused you
of not "donating back to the amateur community." Logic dictates that I
would have had to in order for your "glass house" comment to apply.

This is all a smoke screen to hide the real issue. Otherwise why bring
it up? Why attack my charitability? It just clouds the real issue, and
there is a real issue here.

So what about the real issue Mr. Charitable? Please provide us with a
rational reason (other than "because I say so") that Michael should not
be allowed to buy and sell on Astromart as long as he behaves himself?
To arbitrarily exclude him even after it has been established that he
has nothing to sell is hardly charitable.

Clear skies,
Greg
