Many thanks for the comments. They are much appreciated. Its comments just like these which re-enthuse everyone and make us want to go that extra mile each month.
Please do send them to editor@astronomy.ie
Ok forgive me if I got this all wrong but I sense a distinct sense of resentment quite often when A&S is mentioned here on these boards. I don't see such comments when people praise S@N or other mags. Surely if Paul thinks an A&S is worthy of praise then an there is no better place than an astronomy bulletin board to post such comments so that others can have the benefit of Paul's opinion. Others are just as free to say A&S is rubbish if they like.
Indirectly telling someone not to post such comments here is bad form in my honest opinion and doesn't do IFAS justice.
Look I don't want a row but anytime theres been anything positive mentioned about AI or A&S in the past while there has either been a deafening silence or such comments and it annoys the hell out of me for sure.

Dave i said DELETE...............not MOVE.
Stop confusing me,LOL.
Although i guess it fits here more then anywhere else.
Paul,
I moved it to the Stellar Media section as I felt it was relevant there rather in the General section. A link was left in the General section to re-direct someone here.
I held off on deleting it as I felt that was perhaps too much a measure. Your sentiments were genuine. All I was doing was highlighting was I felt was an obvious course of action. We get regular comments here on how good the magazine is and we don't delete them.
I think that it a bit OTT Dave and I take offense to that remark.Ok forgive me if I got this all wrong but I sense a distinct sense of resentment quite often when A&S is mentioned here on these boards.
