Even the phrase of the spam filter catcher is politically suspect: "'screws' was blocked by the net-nanny." Sounds a bit hypocritical to me. -----Original Message----- From: Chuck Hards [mailto:chuckhards@yahoo.com] Sent: Friday, February 23, 2007 3:15 PM To: Utah Astronomy Subject: [Utah-astronomy] Bad filters run amok (was: success!) This is ridiculous. Context must be taken into account. And if the software isn't up to the task, dump the software. Oops, can I write "dump"? Our ATM hardware is under siege. A bolt is NOT a screw. What about nuts? Shafts? Studs? Rods? Bruce likes to use pipe fittings on his MOUNTS but he'd better not use nipples. "Unaided singularity" instead of naked singularity, when referring to certain black holes? Stupidity. Oh gosh, I suppose "black hole" is verbotten too. The people writing filering software have got to get better at it. It's just not working as it is. If it gets too restrictive then the hell with lists. I can't stand it!!!

What humans will see one day

I look at this picture and can't help but think that one day in the (hopefully not too distant) future a human is going to look out the window and see a similar view with parts of the spacecraft up close and Mars below. http://www.esa.int/esaCP/SEMFTZM0LYE_index_0.html pw

Re: [Utah-astronomy] Pocket Sky Atlas

So much for AOL winning. I didn't get Joe's post at either address. The Sky Scout is not any kind of substitute for a real atlas. Hand-held resolution is insufficient for anything but turista sky gazing. (What's that bright thing over there?)

Anyone here have a working phone number for SLASer Dwight Ball? The one on the SLAS roster and another I got from U S West have been disconnected. Thanks, Patrick
