Interesting, Jas. I've had a similar experience.
I've got this theory that amateur astronomers are pretty patient, philosophical kind of people. Any hobby where one night in two you look up, watch the clouds roll in and say "oh well, not tonight" is not really going to attract the sort of people who always want to get it their way.
Just a theory ;-)
Whatever the reason, the folks round here are delightful, supportive people.
