Davoud,
You seem a good soul. It is taking me much time to filter out the good folks
from what I consider the bad. I like you the way you addressed the issue to
Patrick. I was surprised to see him called a troll for his suggestion
however.

Thanks,
Jeffrey

Well Mr. Crinklaw, I'm offering an alternative to the nonsense that we
have to deal with Min and all the rest. Of course, anyone could do
the same, funny thing is that no one really wants to deal with it.

I long ago thought about hosting a general amateur-astronomy forum
without Min and his ilk, but I rather thought that I would come under
the same criticism you are receiving, and decided it wasn't worth it.

Furthermore, if you study the archives (you needn't go back very far)
you will find that many of the genuine amateur astronomers who frequent
SAA seem to enjoy sparring with the psychopaths. Some of them are drawn
to nutso posts like moths to a flame, just so they can tsk tsk over
them or present yet another condescending and pedantic exposition on
the True Nature of the Universe. Go figure.

As for Yahoo groups, in general I like them, but on some of them I
either won't post a question or I will do an extensive search before
posting a question because I often get replies from the same pedagogues
who would have replied if i had posted the question in SAA, while I am
looking for a /wider/ /variety/ of viewpoints.

If your heart is pure and your intent honorable, I wish you luck with
your forum, but I don't hold much hope for success for an astronomy
forum that excludes Mij and Min.

Davoud
