A range of stuff from Limbaughesque quips to the usual love it or leave it
crap.

It does seem to have stopped. I think my lack of response other than an
apology for the accidental post took the wind out of the easily offendeds'
sails. It isn't any fun to badmouth someone who just ignores it as random
noise. Most of the folks there are way more interested in building large
telescopes, rather than political debate....go figure.....


I didn't bother to save the posts ... they had little real content other
than some form of "your words anger me". And realistically, they did have
cause to bitch...that post didn't belong there, and I do wish I hadn't
accidently sent it to them.
