self admitted that he is fixated on this product?

i fail to see how this input is of any merit whatsoever and i see zero that Pak has added to my insight of this matter.

Until the 850 has proven itself to be what Meade claims it to be, it will be subject to criticism. Meade brought that down on themselves.

This is an open forum, not a popularity contest. If you don't like what you read here you are free to ignore it.

Thank you for your opinion Pak. I appreciate someone who is not afraid to stand up against the majority. You may be right or you may be wrong. Time will tell. You were right in expressing your opinion, I can't say the same for a few others.

Yesterday was Saint Patricks day. You know, green? Leprechauns? Three leaf clovers?

Pak, thank you for changing from bold green font back to normal characters. This is way better.

Nope, I don't know. I am coming from a completely different culture and we do not observe St. Patrick's day here. Would you mind explaining what you mean by your statement above via PM for which I will be thankful to you. I know what a Leprechaun is but how a Lep fits into our context is not clear to me.

Thanks

Sedat

Yes I do mind. The reason I mind is that a moderator should not be taking sides in a discussion or argument. If I am violating the TOS of this forum then I should be privately reprimanded and asked to edit or delete the offending post.

This forum is hosted and sponsored by Astronomics. They are an American company. I too happen to be an American. Growing up here in the U.S. we make note of St. Patricks day and while some take it more seriously than others, it was common to make an attempt to wear green. Stores stock up on
things like corned beef and cabbage. People go out drinking . Kids build and set Leprechaun traps. In an increasingly secular society many of these things have gone by the way side. Since I am of Irish heritage I decided that my posts would be in green yesterday and my first few posts had a little Leprechaun at the bottom.

If people want to attack my spelling, punctuation, grammar and the color of my font, they are more than welcome to.

I didn't change back to normal text because I was asked, I changed back because the holiday was over.

And, Pak, I value reading your comments. But, for heavens sake, lose the green text and the undesirable tone

The statement I agreed to is above. There is one positive and one negative comment there. I don't see it as siding with anyone. If this is how you inferred it, then please believe me that it was not my intention.

I may be a moderator but I am a member too... and I value this more than being a moderator. Being a moderator isn't a reward or anything like that. I know this because I have been moderating several local forums since many years. It is a serious undertaking. In order not to add insult to the injury, I should be allowed to voice my opinion at least, don't you think so ?

Thank you for explaining the St. Patrick's Day habits. I agree with you that we are losing a lot of those old rituals no matter what society we are in.

Enough digression, let's go back to the original topic now.

Clear skies
