Hi Darla-

I'm sorry to hear you will be reducing your presence in this tiny part of
the net. I don't think you should blame yourselves for the reduction you
have noticed... I think it may be simply due to the fact that Spring has
sprung down here in the electronic hemisphere of the world.

You are probably correct, Greysky.
It just seems that lately alt.astronomy has been inundated with kooks, and
many posters likely include our group of seventeen explorers among them.
We of course will continue to monitor the group and will try to respond in a
timely manner if addressed directly.

But I understand
your need to run in silent running mode for a while. I hope it is a short
while. I am happy you found my little website interesting. My hope is, of
course, to also catch the interest of unique minds everywhere, both here
and
'out there'. It's been a pleasure, truly. I do hope you can midify your
decision a bit to permit a few posts now and then? I sense it is a good
thing you're doing, besides chatting with friends, to also sublimely
rattle
to boats of those who have the intelligence, but would rather use it to
wrap
themselves in a cloak of reflecting arrogance rather than to push back the
darkness for us all a small bit.

Wise words, however be sure to try to separate arrogance from skepticism.
At times, the two can be easily confused.
Skepticism can be good and healthy when viewed as a rung in the ladder of
knowledge.

As for the speed of light, well, many people forget that in the formula
E='MC^2' the MC term is really only the first term in a series, and most
scientists drop all but the first term thnking the contribution of those
other terms are unimportant. If you hold E as a constant while increasing
the C term to infinity, it does change things in surprising ways. Hey,
Einstein was right when he said Nothing can travel faster than light -
Nothing can go as fast as it wants to Unbounded perception. Yep.

As the old saying goes "May the winds of good fortune always fill your
sails
and take you to the places you most wish to go."

Good sailing, Darla & Company, and please don't stop posting completely,
Eh?

I hope your choice will be science, particularly astronomy!

I truly Do hope that more and more people will enter and strengthen the
field of astronomy.
You have so many awesome and wondrous things awaiting you in the coming
months and years.
