Hello, Martin, and welcome to s.a.a.

Actually, I'd say that fact that you are posting here
would be one indicator that we have a viable forum still,
and the kind of friendly support that people including
myself are finding here is another.

Of course, the variety of astronomy forums available
both on Usenet and the Internet is a strength, and I
hope that all of these forums will help to promote
our common interest and encourage participants who
seek to get or share advice, celebrate some new
observation, or compare notes in a friendly fashion.

Most appreciatively,

Margo Schulter
