PMFBI, but if thats so, then you deliberately ignored it. JRS said
that he reckoned the chances of a newish amateur spotting a new solar
system body before the pros was negligible. You went on to discuss
comets Its true that many of these have been found by amateurs, but
generally by *extremely experienced* amateurs. Hopefully you see the
point.

I do see the point. However, an *extremely experienced* amateur is still an
amateur.

But not a newish amateur, which is why I used the word.

And if Donal can't see the difference between my ten year old son with
a pair of bins bought in Tescos, and Levy, Hyakutake et al with
tripod-mounted large-aperture professional kit, then....

That is true. I misunderstood your post.

Huh? Is that a lame attempt at humour? Your post makes no sense.

No, its a serious comment. You or someone snipped the attribution to
my remark. I don't like this, don't do it again to my posts.

Your post makes no sense.

Certainly it doesn't it you snip attributions and make it look like
John Stockton said it.

Good grief!! I think that you need to get a life, Mark.

I really have no idea what you are talking about. Are you looking for an
arguement?

Definitely.

He is very much looking for one. It appears that Mark spends a lot of
time prowling Usenet, explicitly looking for trouble. He only ever
joins a thread when there is **** to be stirred. His ****-stirring is
not limited to Usenet, either. On a Yahoo astro mailing list, he once
said that he masterbated many times to the video of the aircraft
crashing into the WTC on Sep 11, 2001. He was promptly banned from that
group. Shame such sad sickos can't be banned from Usenet.
