[Hagar (Doug)]

Well goodbye at least for now. I have decided to take a step back from all astronomy forums. I am afraid the Astro Politics have just got too much for me. I am going to do astronomy for ME. Try to get back to the basics again and not get myself embroiled in the astro political arena. I have the unfortunate trait of saying what I think rather than saying what others like to hear. Time to get back to talking to myself on those dark clear nights I love so much. I will drop in from time to time but at least for the moment will refrain from making any posts or comments.
Most of you are great and I have learnt a lot from you. For that and the friendships I have made, many thanks.
