Err, I can't but help notice Bisqueboy that you have made a total of 6 posts since joining this forum under that name - 5 of them are remarks to the effect that Aust Sky & Tel is about to go under, etc, and now this one criticising Mike's article in Aust Sky & Tel. That's a pretty strong pattern.
Everyone else here discusses all manner of Astronomy related things as well as General things from all areas of life itself. It appears that your field of interest, and in fact your very vision of the world, is very narrow and specific, apparently based upon some kind of search & destroy mission on AS&T.
Do you have any other interest in astronomy? Do you even read other astronomy magazines? Is your commentary ability limited to criticising, or do you simply not find anything in any astronomy mag that is worth praising?
There's plenty of good ones you know: Sky & Space (Oz), Astronomy Now (UK), Sky at Night (UK), Astronomy (US), heaven forbid even the US version of S&T! I've specifically listed those here because you don't seem to be aware of them. Funny thing though, you'll find stories of similar topics in all of them, so
I guess they must all be poaching each other's ideas & articles constantly!
Talking plainly now - I believe that your personal agenda would be amusing to the rest of us, if it were not so sad that you obviously have nothing else to say here. I think the manner in which you have presented yourself on this forum has taken away any possibility of you being taken seriously by the membership here, and has in fact done more harm to your point of view (whatever that is exactly) than if you had presented yourself in a more forthright manner.
You are rapidly assuming the image of a sad little troll, living under his bridge with nothing better to do than make sniping remarks at a single target as it happens to pass by. Like the remnants of all bad fairy tales I think you will fade away from our field of interest until we simply no longer hear or see you.
OOPS - there you go.....
