What I don't like ???? hmmmm lemme think a minute with my small overtaxed brain.
YUP What I don't like is "bloody handles". I can appreciate that we all need an "anonyymous" login name to the forum but I think we should stipulate in the forum rules that all posts be signed off at the bottom of the post with the persons name, at least their christian names. I get totally confused with all these handles, I can never put a face to a handle but I can always put a face to a name. ie I can never remember who is "Queen of the Universe", "Princess Pluto" or "Princess Leah" but I can remember who Mike, Louie and Rod are; you get my drift ?
Astronomy is "supposed" to be a scientific discipline, but in the same vein its "supposed" to be a fun hobby, which traditionally has been pursued by educated intelligent people, yet here we all are communicating like 10yr olds with a new CB radio:-
"hey thats a BIG 10/4 GOOD BUDDY"
So if you wanna keep handles thats fine but I think we should at least know each other by first names, this is not a bloody child pornography chat room where we all have to hide in the dark for Pete's sake. We are all here for a common goal and that is the enjoyment of astronomy.

PS- That's my 1st ***** for the day which hasn't been a good 1 so far, there may be more to come, be warned
