However exuberant it may appear to those who haven't tried it, practicing astronomy in the 21st century is much like learning how to dance . Nobody has to be particularly proficient at it as long as they are enjoying themselves and put in the effort to get out there and get into the flow which binds the individual to the Universal.

For so long the academics have shoved astronomy into physics classrooms where it is lost to voodoo and many reputations and lifestyles are built on creating a fear atmosphere using a blackboard full of equations that are meaningless. Far removed from an orchestrated attempt to blind humanity with novelties, the great insights of astronomy are there for all to see and work with in a clear and easily understandable manner.

Unlike the moderated forums which grant vapid titles to its participants and award them worthless points, sci.astro.amateur for all its faults is an open stage which is suited to making astronomy a vibrant and wholly enjoyable pursuit.

" All whose nature is to dance doth dance. Amen! .Who danceth not, knows not what is being done." Christian saying
