"opinion"

When i posted "opinion", i got a few pretty rank replies. I am young
and still getting to know and i come here to be able to learn people
that probably know more than me. Is it a crime to ask about what
exactly i am learning and its importance? If it is, whats the point of
learning?

Sitav,
Of course its not a crime to ask questions. You have to understand that this
an open forum and expect the whole spectrum of human nature to be on display
here - good and bad. Just ignore the "rank" replies and cherish the
Knowledge you gain from the rest.

I looked through the thread, and didn't find anything too "rank," and there
certainly were some good and thoughtful replies to your question.

You have to understand that there are very helpful, knowledgeable people
here, but there are also people who have odd ideas, a personal agenda to
promote, or who are just plain rude and annoying. Some may be just trying
to get a reaction, and some may have mental or social problems. You just
have to learn who is going to be helpful.

We were at a lecture on cosmology last night, and it was a lot of fun.
There are a lot of interesting topics in astronomy and astrophysics, but few
seem as interesting as where the universe came from, how did it evolve, and
what is its ultimate fate.

I suggest you first learn to write not only a complete sentence, but one
with proper punctuation.

I suggest you count to 10^99999999999999999999999999 before putting

what does introspection mean?

Sitav--Your postings have at least gotten some of us to do some
introspection.

Don't cop an attitude, miss.

Most of the replies you've got are friendly. Frankly, you'd probably
make more friends here if:

--You listened more and talked less at first. Enthusiasm is fine, but
keep a _little bit_ of a lid on it. ;-)

--You at least tried to keep your posts ON TOPIC. The subject of
sci.astro.amateur is NOT black holes, other dimensions, aliens, or
similar things, it's OBSERVATIONAL AMATEUR ASTRONOMY. That includes,
"What was that bright star I saw in the west this evening?" It does not
include things like, "I wonder if black holes form pathways to
dimension X."

If you're more interested in the latter sort of topic, you'd probably
be happier posting on our parent group, sci.astro, where they love to
talk about such things. At length. With abandon. ;-)

And I suggest that you all stop responding to this Sitav creature, who
is likely an annoying 42 year old man who lives in his mother's basement
in Poughkeepsie.

What - you have no trouble reading unintelligible, sloppy postings? If so,
you're better at this game than I.

Starburst,

Somehow I think you are barking up a wrong tree here

Sitav,

So did you ever contact one of those Astronomy Clubs close to you?
If so, what did you find out?

What's your science teacher at school like? Do you have clubs at
School?
If so, and if your Science teacher is in favor, why don't you ask him
or her to sponsor
a Science Club or even perhaps an Astronomy Club for your school?
