Hi Jen & All,
First up, I must say I've spent a number of sleepless nights worrying over the contribution your purple ink and emoticons are making to our collective carbon footprint and global warming.
On balance however, I and many others here really appreciate your ability to lighten up us "dull-as-dishwater" and all-too-serious types to make us realise this site/forum and amateur astronomy generally, is just as much about our enjoyment of each other as individuals as it is about the sharing of information, wisdom and experience.
Thanks very much for that Jen -- we
you Mmmmwah! Looking forward to the next 5,000 !
Best,
Les D
