David, the remark was not aimed at you, but at the incredible fact that there is life after astronomy.
A week ago I sent a pair of binoculars from here to Rosebud by Oz Post. I was informed by the recipient that he hadn't yet received them on Thursday. I tried to locate the parcel for him at three postal centres, but without luck. The attitude of the Postal staff at my local PO was "we didn't do it", tell me do you think that is good service? They didn't ask "what can we do to help?" they went immediately onto the defensive, as most people do. Now there is a complaints form that I have registered with Oz Post.
Re the EQ5 mounts, only three weeks ago I had an EQ5 brought in with the RA seized, and that was straight from the supplier. That was number 6 for the year. You have been very lucky with your mounts, I am happy for you, but happy for me who gets stuck with duds I am not. It means over an hour of disassembly, cleaning off the glue (sorry, your grease) and then reassembly.
Don't teach Grandma how to suck eggs, as my Grandpa used to say: If you can't suck seed suck eggs. (This is meant with humour, not serious so it is not libelous nor slanderous. :-)
Sorry I resurrected the thread, but like our Saviour the action seems to have created quite an uproar. Obviously things still needed to be said.
