... I think response is somewhat subdued because most of what we saw at BFSP was clouds and rain. BO was there, and they had Paragons for sale (as did...
Mark; Looking forward to the Paragon and Pentax XW comparison report. See if you can round up someone with a 41 Panoptic and a 40 Rodenstock too to include in...
... Two friends and I already compared the 40 Paragon to the 41 Panoptic. We got as far as looking at some open clusters on the second night of tests before...
Mark; I was thinking of a report that did an overall ranking from best to worst incorporating all the eyepieces I mentioned earlier if possible. Rich Wood...
... OK. Three out of the four shouldn't be a problem, but I'm not sure where we'll track down the Rodenstock. Unfortunately, thanks to Ernesto, odds are we...
1). The wx was terrible, no viewing/testing, and Bill had a reduced display, (NOT including future products, of which there were a few). This did not hurt him...
Over the last year or so, I've seen various posts offering constructive criticism, some have needled Bill for the much delayed backpacker, others complained he...
Ruud; As I mentioned in an earlier post I felt that the Paragon had more than the specified 16mm of eye relief. This was confirmed in a conversation with Bill...
I'm pleased to see somebody gets the big picture here.....I'm not singling out this group per se; it is a web/society-wide problem; lots of examples to choose...
Wayne; I agree. As I mentioned in an earlier posting I left two telescope groups after the owner/moderator, without even informing me, placed me on moderated...
... I agree with you on this, Rich. That's why I frequently check the Astronomics website for the eye relief of an eye piece. It seems that they don't just...
BTW I would like to add that I have observed NONE of the type of moderator activity being discussed here on the Burgess group site. In my mind the moderation...
Hmmmmm. Things get curiouser and curiouser. It appears that not all is well amongst the prolotariat...... Listen everyone, Norm is by no means the worst...
There is also the opposite to be seen on some groups which endanger themselves to become an elitist club. On a recent case, a rather confused guy who needed...
So, let me get this straight. You ranted about people that were being overly negative about Bill's products, etc. ON THE BURGESS SITE. Ergo, 'moderated' for...
Yes, and you know what? They will ALWAYS appear from time to time. Why? One word: Human. Never fails to make mistakes, always one or two that never get it. It...
Bill; I used language inappropriate to a group site regardless of whether or not names were mentioned. If I feel moderation was justified then YOU have no...
Hi Everyone. Yes, I¹m still around. :-) I¹m just been SO busy celebrating the fact that Bill R. believes that I¹m NOT the WORST Moderator on the Internet!...
Wayne; You could be right but if that is the case then he is the type of personality who IMO has no business being a group moderator. If you cannot take the...
Norm; I agree that a manufacturer/distributor sponsored group should keep on subjects at least somewhat related to the sponsors products, and their use....
Fair enough. No quarrel there. But THAT you didn't say. It's only when there's a "perceived" slight and an inappropriate response to that sllight that I think...
Norm. You HAVE to shorten these posts, man. 'War and Peace' is not required reading at the Academy. Shouldn't be here, either. C'mon. Short and sweet. B ...
Bill; Insult is in the eyes of the beholder and I have pretty thick skin. Some others do not. There will always be differences of opinion but I do not believe...
Well, heck, Bill, Now I AM confused. First you BITCH , over a series of 5 or 6 postings, over a period of days, about there not being ENOUGH communications...
I agree or is this group supposed to be "every and anything"? I thought when I joined it was about the products of Burgess only. ... From: Bill Reynolds To:...
Hello Bill R., and the general Burgess Group, I'm not much of a member here, don't hardly ever post, but mainly try to distantly follow the group through the...
