Then the OP does it to promote a silly religion. Allah most beneficent this

It is formatted for religious purposes, not for science.

Who cares? Data is atheistic. It is used for different purposes all the time
than it was originally formatted for. I think all religions are silly- that
doesn't stop me from using data provided by its practitioners.


Perhaps, but the output for current crescent moon sighting is useless. Ask
him for the code so that you can use it for what you propose.
It is obvious that you are reaching for a reason to defend the OP's spam.

You have no clue about what other people may or may not find useful. Suffice to
say that posting astronomical data of any kind is on-topic for most of these
groups, and can't remotely be considered "spam" on any.

As Dr Durrani has already stated in this thread: "Physics is used to
model these phenomena as well as the colors of the twilight sky and the
contrast between the twilight sky and the very thin Hilals." It is
therefore on-topic for sci.physics.

[BTW, doesn't colorado.edu have a policy against the nuisance-setting of
follow-ups in NG posts?]


Let me guess... you are going to whine to CU about this. *smirk*

It's tempting. My employer regards misuse of the Internet as gross
misconduct. Yours might too. But I think I'll just put you back in the
kill file with the other bigots and kooks.

I tried it a year ago. They don't care. I guess CU is a religious
school.
