Astro Ads

OK, we've all seen them, silly ads that overstate toy scopes, and strange words like 'automatical', 'refractive' applied to a reflector and Aus Geograpic displays with relflectors pointing to the ground and over use of the word 'Professioanl' especially in regards to toy scopes... Well, at the mo there is an ad on Gumtree, with the following attached pic on the site: http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/darli...ope/1011973953 It stated the 'blue' scope was a 'refractor' and the grey a 'reflector'. I emailed the person that he was in error, but got an emphatic reply that he was right. So I suggested to him that my fish have more astro knowledge than has he which of course he didn't much like andinsisting he was right. But he did ammended the ad on the same day to exclude his descrioption. I did tell him why it was easy to identify the reflector.
