Disappointingly coherent, Patrick. You must be taking the wrong dosages .... ________________________________ From: Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com> To: Utah Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Thursday, May 31, 2012 11:05 PM Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Proxy post from Patrick ("Business" followup) Thanks Steve. Like you said, I'm ok but boy I'm *still* groggy. When I was in the prep room with an IV in one arm I did go on to Utah-Astronomy and was going to reply right then to the Club Business thread but about then they put some sort of magic elixir in my IV and suddenly I didn't care anymore. :) After that they started shining lights in places where "the Sun don't shine" but I was out cold and didn't care. However, they did give me a bunch of color pictures. Maybe I'll pass them around at the next L&O. <G> Now, as to the "Business" thread, I'm just one person on this list but since I was asked I'll share my thoughts. While the great majority of folks on the list belong to SLAS I think we all know that Utah-Astronomy is not affiliated with any club or company. But that said, occasionally SLAS or OAS or UVAA things are discussed here. I'm fine with that. I like and encourage free flowing discussion of all things scientific. What does bother me though are attacks, especially of a personal nature. And I also find it tiresome when 2 or three people carry on a long conversation about something that really only involves them. So keep it civil, of interest to more than a couple of people and on topic (or at least close to on topic) and I wont have a problem. Like all of you I have a delete key and I use it a lot. patrick Disclaimer: All of the above were written while I'm still partly in La-La land... On 31 May 2012, at 18:19, Steve Fisher wrote:
Our friend and list administrator Patrick just called me and asked me to post in his behalf. He has had a medical procedure today “butt” is ok and needs some additional time to recover before answering the huge amount of email he has received. He really sounded sleepy and I haven’t slurred my words like that since 1969. I promised him that we would maintain our personal standard of excellence until his return.
