Joe, Thank you for your exceptional treatment of provocative me. It is very informative. Your curiosity could have also been satisfied with a private email. In all sincerity, thank you for your many columns. You have made many contributions for astronomy in our community. I will continue my researches elsewhere.

Sorry to get your dander up, Richard, and you're certainly welcome on the list. I'm no gatekeeper and as anyone who has been here for a while knows, I am always encouraging all sorts of discussions. But UtahAstronomy is primarily about astronomy and not a way to mine information that can be used to ridicule anyone. I have never looked up anyone else's postings elsewhere, but your question sounded so provocative that I wondered what was going on. And by the way, what was going on? Where were you planning to use the material you collected? Now you've made me curious. Thanks, Joe
