There is a seperate question as to whether this is the appropriate place to vent and bitch. It is a public forum, which therefore has dangers regarding libel (as I found out recently :shock: ), and it is also a place where people will go to try and find out what kind of organisation IFAS is...
With regard to what Chris just said. Put yourself in the position of an astro newbie coming to the IFAS board to see what sort of an organisation IFAS is. They see all of this political stuff. What do you think they might be thinking. Perhaps they might run a mile for fear of getting involved with all of this political stuff. If they do that and end up joing no astro club at all then the stated purpose of IFAS has been lost.
I got that mail re "Naked Eye Rapid Moving Cometary Object Observed". To tell you the truth I found it fascinating. DM's maths explanation of how he made his calculations was simply stunning. However if you dont want these mails just tell DM in the strongest terms that *you dont want these mails*. Also most email providers and mail clients provide you with spam filters. One or two clicks of a mouse and your problem is sorted.
Clear skies to all,
Dave.
