go iceman thanks for the website did a good job thankyou

Yeah – Mike & Terry took an enormous leap of faith and look what has transpired; a vibrant, friendly, topical and thankfully hygienic amateur astronomy Forum - a great place to stay in touch, keep up to date and meet with a great bunch of like minded folks.

It doesn’t hurt to occasionally remind ourselves of our good fortune; we have a free astronomy home to visit, inhabited by some mighty fine folks!

Cheers

Dennis

IIS is my home away from home.
Through this forum I've met so many kind, caring people.

Thanks Mike.

MrB (Simon) · #4 31-03-2009, 02:20 AM

Yep, great place and full of great people.
Think I might show my appreciation(sp?!) by clicking on that button.
Which Button?

<----- This one!

Yeah thanks Mike

Not only is it the people you meet but the wealth of information as well.
You can learn in days or weeks what would take years of hard slogging trial & error by going it alone.

And errors in this hobby can be expensive.

Thanks to all involved.

Yes, I certainly agree that this is a well designed, professional means of communication. Thanks for having me and letting me use it, "Iceman".

The next drink I have will be dedicated to Iceman.

Hey jjj, You ain't met me yet.

You may have second thoughts.

jjjnettie (Jeanette) · #10 31-03-2009, 03:34 PM

Marty,
I was talking to Alison yesterday (the blondie who works at the Hunting Lodge), and she gave me good reports about you.

Let us know next time you're coming up and we'll catch up for a couple.

All lies, lies.

When I head up there again I'll PM you before hand.

Looking forward to meeting "Lady Scientist".

Lets all remember it takes a lot of Mikes effort, time and some money to keep this all going. Dont forget to click on "donate" from time to time

Paddy (Patrick) · #13 31-03-2009, 08:00 PM

Thanks to Mike indeed for a great resource! Not only a font of useful and interesting information, not only a way of buying wonderful 2nd hand goodies, but also a constant companion in my worsening addiction! I suppose its the company of a community of addicts all egging each other on. Fantastic!

marki · #14 31-03-2009, 08:11 PM

A very welcoming and pleasant place.

Second all those thoughts. I know there are some around who are not big fans, but I have found all the info and advice from IIS community invaluable. Mike & Co need to be supported.
