Wait times for AP refractors

Given the posting style (or lack thereof, if you will), I wouldn't think
it'd take most folks long to make the connection... He sure has flooded
the place with detritus today, eh?


It shouldn't take folks long to figure Shawn was off his meds.

But I was more concerned with Shawn. If we could get him back home to the
Sanitarium he would be happier and they could get him back on track without
needing the straight jacket....

You are an idiot. You could get an 8" dob and pay lots less, see lots more
and have it in 2 weeks. Thank you so much for revealing your stupidity.

Regarding this post and your previous post....

If you've got a problem with something, take it off the group, email
me privately and keep it personal. There are more than enough
intelligent people in this group to talk with publicly, and none of us
should have to hear the cries of someone who obviously has got a
problem with people who are better off then themselves.

Not a single post of mine was directed at you. You coming out of the
woodwork and putting in your jealous banter shows where the real
stupidity lies.

Go and play in another group.

To all,

I went ahead and put myself on the list for the 130AP. I'm assuming
it will take at a minimum 2-3 years (and thats conservative) before
I'm ever called.

Now I guess we'll just have to see what happens. Who knows maybe I
will have a TMB or soemthing else before that day comes. We'll just
see.

Thanks everybody for the feedback. I want to cut this short before
Shawn chimes in again. People like him know how to ruin a perfectly
good thread.

Feel free to email me privately,

Not knowing at the time if I would have the finances in the future to be able
to afford one, I nonetheless put my name on the notification list in the Fall
of '99 for a Traveler. I thought I may as well at least get on the list.

Still haven't rec'd notice that they've made it down to my name yet! Either
that or I deleted the e-mail by mistake.

Dragan,

Congratulations! You've made a wise choice! I suggest buying another
telescope in the meantime (which you could sell when the 130 arrives), and
filing the knowledge of your order with A.P. somewhere in your sub-conscious
(good luck with that).

Enjoy the other 'scope and have fun learning the sky. Don't worry about the
AP. Those 3 years will pass by quickly, and when it arrives you will not
regret having waited.

I bought mine through their Canadian Dealer, http://www.perceptor.ca/, and
still had to wait like everyone else.

P.S. I am not affiliated with Astro-Physics, and do not know anyone who is.

P.P.S. Get a good mount!

-Mike

I am not Shawn Grant. My style isn't at all like Shawn. I tend to write
somewhat longer and maybe angrier sounding posts than Shawn.
Also:
Shawn uses the same internet account for all his postings and he does use
his name.
I tend to bounce around between different accounts and have never used my
real name. Some people here have even met me and would be shocked if they
found out who I am. Then Astromart would probably ban me and they are to
much a part of my business. A guy likes to have fun , what can I do?

That's one difference between SAA and some other groups, most people here
aren't as internet savvy, a lot of places I post are much better at picking
up on who trolls are and when sock puppets are being used. One thing Shawn
very rarely does. He's really a very high class troll, SAA should be proud.

Hi Shawn,

Why are you replying to your own post?
