Thanks you everybody! I told Don I hover around, dip into and have more astro-buds in the ATM forum more than any of the rest, offered to share modding it, and he welcomed the offer.

I joined Cloudy Nights years ago to finally find a friendly, moderated, professional and fun place to visit and swap experiences with other ATM's, astrophotographers, etc. without the nastiness and venom of unmoderated newsgroups. All of us here have the same goal and responsibility, to keep this and all other CN forums a pleasant place to visit, a safe place for kids to read, and to keep CN out of legal trouble (copyright violations, etc.). I've just finished re-studying the TOS again, and OK, it's not all THAT bad a read; everyone should brush up on it now and then. The goal is to make moderator jobs boring, with nothing to get all whuffed up about.

So with that, Jess, I will indeed remain objective, and will mirror and channel every knife-edge sharp experience without a trace of caustic, gritty commentary, and pitch only the most polished ideas forth, within the zonal boundaries of good taste....

OK it's late and I can't think of any more puns

WHAT?? JJ, how can you NOT think Ed and I are cuzzins? Don't our full heads of hair, rugged, trim muscular physiques, six-pack abs and outrageous obsessions with scopes and optics give us away?

This "sums" it up - you are rapidly becoming an expert mirror maker!

.....Oh..I wish..

However if making copious amounts of ignorant mistakes makes one a candidate for such a fine label...then I'm just an apprentice.

I feel a mistake coming around the corner....
