All:
Personally, I find this stance nutty.....it stifles group discussion
and learning to the extent that I learn less about using the software
and hardware in this group relative to any other yahoo group I belong to.
On any other group, be it Stark Labs or Maxim, you learn a lot from
the technical give and take between Craig Stark or Doug George with
their user base. And, it leads to increased membership and increased
discussion....notice that the membership on this group has been
stagnant, and I am sure this is one of the reasons. Why belong if the
author of the program declines, or worse yet, refuses to give
constructive feedback to the group rather than the individual? What
good does that do? I am very interested in what Alberto is doing, what
he is experiencing, and how the two of you may resolve the issue....it
may happen to me and I would then have a resource to refer to rather
than flailing in the wind!
Personally, I think Milton should re-consider this stance...it is
frustrating and reduces the users reference points for learning to use
the software to it's fullest potential - and, that is what it is all
about, isn't it? To learn and grow one's interest in astrophotography?
Just my two cents!

Hi Alberto;
Not a problem and sorry if I came across as overly harsh or whipping
people or whatever.
I just want users to do the right thing and the right thing is to send
support issues to me directly.
So when you get time answer those questions I asked and send me the
screen shots I asked for and I can probably help you.

Ok Milton, ok group members,
I'm sorry for that.
Milton, If you remember in the past i always sent all
my support request directly to you.
Today i had the sudden inspiration and i thought that
it was unfair to send the request directly to you so i
deliberately decided to send it to the group thinking
to do the right thing.
Wow! it was the first time but I promise that i won't
do it anymore...
Pleeeeeease don't whip me!
Greetings to all

Hi Folks;
This is being dealt with off line between Alberto
and me.
Just so we are clear about things, ALL Technical
Support Questions are
to be directed to:
support@
The Yahoo Group list is where people can discuss
general interest
things such as camera types, camera issues, cables
to use, techniques
they use, new images they captured, things they
would like added in
Astro IIDC 5 (the features for Astro IIDC 4 is cast
in stone and not
changeable now) etc.
It is NOT for Astro IIDC support requests which are
to be sent to me at:
support@
The reason for that is because you can not embed
images, data files,
text dumps etc. in a Yahoo text message - they get
stripped out by
Yahoo. So I get incomplete reports back and people
wind up re-sending
stuff. Secondly it clutters up the list with issues
that may be of no
interest to anyone and can be exceedingly specific
to the end users
situation.
