 Yay, I finally figured it out! 
Ben, at first I couldn't understand why you were upset about all this.. people don't always refer to celestial objects by their assigned names, it happens all the time. But I finally figured out what happened, and it appears there's been a terrible misunderstanding. Please bear with me and forgive the fact that I'm including a few lines from your PMs.. I had to in order to explain.
[quotes use with permission]
These phrases from your first PM confused me..
I knew you knew the situation
-and-
...seeing that it wasn't getting resolved forced me to post something
Especially confusing were 'knew the situation' and 'resolved'.
What situation?
Resolve what?
Then I got your last PM, and this one sentence made me understand what happened:
It was just that I knew you knew and the situation remained the same for over a year.
The words I knew you knew are the heart of the misunderstanding.
Ben, did you think I remembered where I'd read about the asterism, but chose not to disclose the information for over a year in this thread? Nothing could be further from the truth. 
Your announcement was posted in Yahoo over three years ago.. I remembered where the asterism was in the sky, but not where I'd read about it, or its name. If I had, trust me.. I'd have said so when I introduced it to the CN members in this bino report last year.
So you see? It was just a big misunderstanding.. no need to be upset.
I feel better.. how about you?
