pull your head out of your ass, cloudbait. nobody said observing skills weren't
important or that everyone's eyesight or skill level was the same.
i was addressing the audacious claims made by many in this hobby, made only to
exaggerate their prowess. we all know it happens.
of course there are amateurs who have more experience and skill than others.
it's the accomplishments they've made from their skills
that make them exceptional observers, regardless of whether they can see to the
8th magnitude or not.
the early major accomplishments made with little or no technological
aid are much more impressive to me.

You have such a charming demeanor about yourself.

In fact, I still think that is what you said, and I don't think I'm alone in
that interpretation. You shoot this hostile crap off so fast your fingers are
running faster than your brain. Try thinking about what you want to say first,
and maybe your intent meaning will match your words.

BTW, Cloudbait is an observatory, lacking both head, and ass.
