    I find that the only way one can not be offended and can not offend others is by staying away from all Forums.

    Forums all have one ingredient which will eventually antagonize and alienate others, and that ingredient is MEMBERS!

    Very, very true. I know I've been that kind of member before, but that's just me.

    Whilst I too am beset with curiosity, I didn’t have the intestinal fortitude to ask. :)

    Gadzooks! Perhaps in the process, he is the one who lost it! One second a planet was there, the next second there was just a rock with a number on it!
    A most foul event indeed!!!

    I remember HAL as the computer in 2001 a Space Odyssey.

    HAL : I know that you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen.

    It was a flame war with the forum's Administrator which caused my dismissal.

    I didn't agree with her defense of Refractors while bashing the Maksutov design as being the best for high-power imaging of Planets. (I had recently bought a Mak and was extolling its virtues.)

    In my opinion, SHE should have been banned, but she had the Political power, being on the imaging staff at JPL.
