Well that's it. 56 eye pieces, 14 telescopes (including finders), 3 diagonals, 3 mounts, 3 tripods.
Its got to a point now where I feel unwelcome more than welcome on SGL, more often than not. This seems apparent due to the curt replies I get, based on my opinions or tastes, from officials & devotees of certain brands. Stargazers are a conservative bunch apparently. Also on SGL at least, paranoid that just one individual can discourage others to buy certain products, or send more than my critics think necessary.
I joined the forum last August & have learned a lot, not only about kit, techniques, tech stuff etc.

Richard, the forum is called Stargazerslounge not KitcollectorsSpareroom for a reason, because we like looking at (and imaging) stars etc.
I for one would welcome some observing reports and for there to be a focus on using some of this kit as it was intended.
I would encourage you to move away from casting doubt on the kit used by others, and our characteristics, and to post up something which we can all enthusiastically comment on.
I think you will find the responses change from curt fairly quickly.

Richard ...... also remember that text has no tone or expression to it and it is very easy to both offend and be offended, thus posts can be very easily taken the wrong way. I for one do not think any posts you have made or replies received have been intentionally personal ....... I have also been amused at times with some threads involving you....... but you do kind of put your head above the parapet ?
