Your right can't take it with you.
Its getting bad when the guys in a few astronomy shops start to know you on first name basis.

I reckon they'd have a roll of sticky address labels printed up with my name and address on them.

If there are 6500 odd members, at...say..an average of $2K of equipment that would give a figure of some $13 million.
A bit of a worry that !

Just for fun, if we use the lowest value in each bracket($0, $1k, $5k etc) then we are up to $287k already.
That works out to an average $7.5k each (including the two $0's) over 37 voters.

Oh, dear Lord.
I didn't vote, but, just did a rough estimate in my head as to how much I've spent on equipment. I am truly ashamed.
Can't wait until the new toy arrives!

What do mean "wives will never know"!
I think it should read "husbands will never, never ever know" (or maybe " it was the same price as your drill press")

This is one advantage of living in Sydney. Andrews and Bintel are in driving distance on the way to or from work. No waiting for goodies.
And they both have people who recognise my voice.
Should I answer the poll with what it is worth today, or what it will be when SWMBO approves the next CCD+filters? That changes the bracket.

Current and pending I guess.
I'm waiting for some paypal funds to clear. Doesn't affect which bracket I'm in tho.

Husbands must never ever know.
