Thanks, Bruce. (Ssssssuuuuuubbbbsssskkrriiibbbbeeee????)
As Katie has just written, a newer person to all of this might be a bit
antimidated and turned away from getting involved with an amateur group
that has overtones of hyper-opinionation, and negativity. I spend all
day being anal and perfectrionistic in what I do for a career. As
opposed to this, I was to keep my free time with my astronomy hobby
cultivating relationships with groups like TAC and BigDog in a more
general way. This keeps things relaxing for me.
