***Since I was unlikely to please everyone, or even a significant majority, and given that fairly simple alternatives are commonly available, I decided to please myself, and stay with the status quo.*** I can understand that, Ted, as an owner, moderator, or subscriber to 2 dozen lists... HOWEVER... ***If you got that impression from the recent, mostly light-hearted threads on binoculars vs. video, then please understand that there is no real controversy among positional observers regarding targets or methods. Those threads started with a complete misunderstanding of a comment by someone in an article, and then took on a life of their own. Mostly, people were just kidding around; unfortunately that can lead to misunderstandings.*** Oh Brother.. Yeah I have only been in this group a couple of months and many people know me, for better or worse.. I live in email and I do not hold my tongue.. I have a lot of great Mentors, but I still can't grasp the wisdom of "walking away".. And I was just fine migrating to lurking, until I read the above paragraph... What's to misunderstand??? How did I misinterpret the multiple insults of being a prima dona from people who know jack about me (or anyone else)??? I don't believe it has dawned on people the damage this thread has done to this group.. Why would a newcomer want to listen to or be subjected to this? Am I helping? Certainly not. This thread needs to DIE and when the dust settles, maybe everyone will still be in this group observing.. But there is no misunderstanding...
