LOL Matt, I think they are just making a statement for now, I am sure that when their/our point is driven home, it is likely to abate
I find it hard to take it seriously that ANY amateur astronomers are serious contenders for the 'chopper reid award' or a threat to society, thats just an oxymoron.
My impression of the very general front bar publics view on the pursuit of such activities is to be that of an effeminate nerds bordering on some kind of possibly contagious form of obsessive autism or worse - sorry just saying what I know to be the reality.
maybe scp will help fight that stereotype?
