Default Fed up with NEW SCOPE ARRIVES posts!

I was reading in the bathroom when I ran across an item written by
Harry Leopold on Thu, 15 Jan 2004 9:49:00 -0600,
which said:

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


F'rinstance, on the DVD of "Chicago," take a look at the extras;
you'll find a song that was cut because "****" appears near the end.
It's the number sung by Queen Latifa and Zeta-Jones.

It used to be that it took some skill to use a
scope, you learned the night sky, you star hopped

Default Fed up with NEW SCOPE ARRIVES posts!

Macspert-

It is much easier to pass up the "I just got my new scope" posts than
to get worked up over them, unless if you don't really let these posts
get to you, and might be making a point on the amount of or ?? of
these posts. It is a welcome thing in this world for someone to be
excited about something that can give enjoyment in an obviously
harmless way (except perhaps to the pocketbook). Something the world
needs more of-LESS HARM. Ignore these and go enjoy your scope.

I agree, Michael Nugent. I'm no rocket scientist, and might have a
long way to go before I can identify more than a few Messiers. It is
another hobby, something for my enjoyment, not my job.

Best regards, Macspert-

To be honest - 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:-)

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