Another S&T Top 10 - Yet Again!!
I noticed, yet again, that S&T continues to drag out the ol' "Top 10 List" in their December / January / February Issues.
I don't know about everyone else, but the is old chestnut is getting a little bit predictable and frankly boring.
For example, you think they could just - as in the latest issue of AS&T - could just name it say "Stories of 2007" or "Best Events of 2007", etc. - and leave the story to the imagination of the reader of subscriber.
Next we be seeing, as in the teenybopper or women's magazines - say;
"264 Ways to Observe with the Naked-Eye" or
"521 Ways to Collimate a Telescope."
Do amateur astronomers really need to be bombarded with this kind of media hype just to sell magazines ?
