Kudos to "programmer"

I would just like a to make a quick public thank you to "programmer" for the telescope eyepieces.

As a beginner (especially one on very little money) it's hard to make a start in a new hobby, so when the offer of free eyepieces came up I had to take a chance. It's funny that my dad warned me that "nothing is free" because it turns out that's just what they were... though if my thanks can be considered any form of payment (at least Karmically) then I guess that's something.

So again a huge thanks and all the best for your star gazing!

It’s so uplifting and refreshing to come across these posts about people and their generosity. Well done Programmer. So very nice to see the balance between give and take tipping once more in favour of giving!

Cheers

Dennis

Argh.. no need for that. Just passing on some goodwill I received early on. I'm not the first and won't be the last. Now, if you could clear these skies for me ...

Indeed,
in this world full of negativity and fear mongering blaring from the TV,
Someone like Programmer comes along and reminds us all of the good that there is out there.
Well done mate

I remember seeing the thread and thinking... It takes a special person to part with eyepieces, but it takes a very kind and generous special person to do it for free...

A big round of applause for Programmer!
