Ok folks, it's time to call a truce (and what better day to do it than the 90th anniversary of the day the guns fell silent in Europe?). I spent 26 years in uniform so I have some pretty strong views but remember folks, this is Utah _Astronomy_, not Utah Political. I don't think anyone here has any problems with an occasional poke at our political leaders but the recent name calling is starting to sound like something out of 3rd grade. No doubt Jim is right that there are those who are getting ready to bail if the mean spiritedness of the past day or two does not end. What's say we be a bit more helpful now and try replying to the post earlier today from someone asking for telescope advice? patrick On 11 Nov 2008, at 13:05, Jim Cobb wrote:
