Will someone please confirm that "****" is used as a derogatory terms
in America as well as in the UK? I don't think I've ever heard it used
with an American accent in films.

Yup, it is derogatory. Seldom used in polite company, seldom used even in
no-so-polite company such as movies.

No kidding! In case there's a difference in the literal meaning from
place to place, where I live, it is a synonym for the female pudenda,
although it's not nearly as crude as the other word for that.

Says the guy with a computer - why not just use a pencil and paper and buy
some stamps and envelopes and mail your opinions to everyone? Oh yeah, much
easier to use a computer! Bet you drive a car or take the bus too - used to
be folks got along real fine with horse and buggy - are we all yuppie creeps
because it's easier to drive a car? Hello!!! Can anyone (other than me)
smell hypocrisy (or jealousy)? If you believe there are too many amateurs,
then please, get out of the hobby to make room for us yuppie creeps and our
monster scopes!

If you yuppie creeps, ok you aren't creeps but you are always assholes, oh
yea what's wrong with ridding the bus to work? I guess you drive one of
those pile of **** Hummers? No dick , so you bought a Hummer to fool
people?
Usually your types leave the hobby after figuring out no one gives a rats
ass how much money you have to spend and after you figured out it isn't a
way to pick up chicks when you're away from the wife and kids. Yea I've
seen your types at work, you come and you go, but the story is the same.
By the way if your idea of a radical monster scope is a Celestron 9.25 sct
then you are like a total moron.
But then you drive a Hummer.....

Sorry, this self-righteous moronic diatribe sickens me with the elitist
amateur bull#@$#. It's a hobby buddy, relax, just because you do it one way
doesn't mean it's the only way - my goodness!

It angers you that there are people who don't see how like totally cool you
are?
Maybe if you would get that cell phone out of your ear, I know trying to
keep a bit on the side and your long suffering wife happy is a job but why
do the rest of us at the starparty have to listen to your lies? See I have
you pegged my man. Your Hummer may have a wide tarck but your minds as
narrow as they come!

To be honest
A first for a yuppy I guess....Honesty isn't a problem for George Bush or
Rush Limbo why should you bother with something your heros don't practice?

- I cannot really star-hop that well - and um... big deal -
it's not my job, it's a hobby... can you understand that...A
HOBBY...something to ENJOY...and if I want to spend a bit of my hard earned
cash on expensive equipment, then so be it. And if I ever make the mistake
and ask anyone in this group for advice, please just ignore it. You see, in
my life knowing the sky is about as important as knowing ancient Chinese
dialect - I guess it's interesting but how does that really help me? In
fact, I have learned more of the sky using my GOTO (9 1/4 Celestron
Advanced) than ever before. With me it's always been the view, not the
getting there part. In fact, I am going to purposely forget where the moon
is so I can use my scope to find it - and then I can really enjoy the
view:-)

In other words what you are saying here is your an Ignorant moron and your
proud of it and plan to stay that way. Why don't you just stick to poking
your bit on the side. If knowing the sky isn't important to you then what
are you doing in the hobby, well other than showing off how much you can
spend. I don't doubt you Can forget where the moon is, the suprise is
you've heard of it at all .
Stick with you beer , broads, football, and low life church and everyone
will be happy. You won't have to trouble your poor brain over questions
about the universe and the possibility that it isn't all about you!

Who will soon buy the Celestron CGE 11 (as soon as my wife says it's ok:-)

Oh mommy may I buy a new telescope?

You know who cares, who really gives a damn that some over paid yuppy
creep
just received his new 3" APO on an alt aaz mount of a 14" SCT and then
asks whats good to look at with the scope. I mean who gives rats ass.
That's one of the problems with the whole amateur astronomy world, there
are too damn many AMATEURS. It used to be that it took some skill to use a
scope, you learned the night sky, you star hopped you figured out where
your ass was and you didn't need both hands and a government agency to
tell
you where it was.
Now we have any silly **** with a few bucks to burn out there buying these
new GOTo scopes , scopes mind you that are at best a work in progress or
like the MEADE LXD absolute complete ****.
So the get the damn scope, think that have the thing put together, give
the
god damn thing some idiot name and drag the 90lb pile of junk outside and
try and figure out which end is up. Well ****.
