The growing list of things that Shawn Grant talks about without knowing
anything about is, of course, way too long to post here. A couple of
highlights:

** Apple Macintosh Computers.

** Computer-based Lunar Occultation Predictions.

** The English Language.

** Linux Computers.

** Microsoft Windows Computers.

** Questar Telescopes.

** The answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and
Everything. (For Shawn it's a big, fat zero.)


Shawn takes one aspect of human nature to extreme, putting
down anything he finds a challenge intellectually, socially
or financially.
o unix/linux
o high quality refractors
o women

It's mostly lack of self-esteem. But on the other hand, he is
a decent beginning photographer and should his fortunes take a
good turn, he could eventually develop his skills creating high
quality astro-photos with a good AP equipment and learned
imaging skills. He might derive enough self satisfaction to
also become somewhat humble.

For better or for worse, Shawn is a part of this s.a.a. community.
I, for one, look forward to his progress and my own.
