Schmourghenne I'm not quite sure what prompted your sarcastic response to my genuine replies to your posts - you had asked questions, I was trying to reply and make a suggestion in a forthright and honest fashion, no disrespect was intended. I went to some effort to search for the thread on Dave's trolley, knowing that a picture was worth a thousand words. I now feel VERY happy that I went to such efforts to provide you with information.
Those here who know me, and there's more than a few, know that the portrait you have painted of me is far from correct. I am NOT self opinionated, in the habit of making snide remarks, a member of the grammar police, etc. My comments re carless, sociophobe, etc were directly taken from what you had said about yourself - except you also described yourself as lazy, I didn't repeat that for fear of giving offense.
As for the comment I made about most aperture for minimum price the fact is that MOST people want to achieve that (myself included) - unless you are in the habit of preferring to spend more money than is necessary to achieve a goal. Thats why I suggested a dob, that's why I have one myself. You had also mentioned how much having a shaky mount irritates you, again at the price there's no more stable mount than a dob.
From your original post I took it that you were a person who had a sense of humour - I was obviously wrong. I won't offer other suggestions, I'll simply hope that you find a scope package that suits your requirements.
