Default Add Questar to Shawn's "Ignorant List"

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.)

Don't you people know by now that Shawn is just a troll? Don't you know
he doesn't believe any of the things he says? The whole point of
trolling is to get rises out of humorless people. Give us all a break
and remove that hook from your mouth!

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.

Clearly, your experience as an educator has led you to the observation
that people are capable of change.
Thank you for your high-road approach and observations.
