Dear group friends,

i read very carefully all your messages about this

matter feeling a little embarrassed about the various

reactions caused by my inapproriate (so seem) request.

I think that someway i could agree or disagree with

all of you.

i explain better.

My "istinctive" thoughts and ideas are really similar

to Don otherwise i wouldn't have never written to the

group for tech support.

On the other hand i understand the point of view of

Alan and Milton due to practical needs (time, efforts

etc).

Last but not least:  IMHO  Milton is the Boss, the

Shrek, the Godfather, the President (etc) of this

group so he can decide whatever he wants: we could

agree and stay here or disagree and go away.

So after all the writings  only a sentence remained in

my mind  because English is not my language and i'm

very risky for a misunderstanding:

Following i will paste the last sentences of the 1st

Milton reply to Don

DON: 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?

MILTON: Actually the only growth Astro IIDC is having

is in Microscopy, which is a very good thing"

Milton i know that you are mentally honest so please

explain to me if your happiness about  Microscopy

market is in opposition to Amateur Astronomers that

you don't like so much as microscopers (because

microscopers  are PRO and not Amateur like many of us)

Am i victim of a huge misunderstanding or you wrote

the last sentence trying to be really "cold" about a

part of your customers?

Sorry if i misunderstood so stupidly  but at this

point i couldn't skip to ask this  question.

Cheers to all!

All:

This is not to be construed as a personal attack

in any way...however,

over the limited time I have been monitoring this

board, I have

noticed that tech questions get instantly "let's

do this offline".

Yes, guiding is very difficult, and I would love

to guide with the

software. But, not seeing the give and take

between you and Alberto is

frustrating to saythe least. To suggest Alberto

report back to the

group only puts more work on his shoulders that

just could be avoided

by a lively exchange.

I never suggest Alberto should report back to the

Group. In ever case  

where I took it off line I always reported back what

the outcome was.  

I don't expect people to do that.

Craig and Doug take it offline when it gets

ridiculous....smd, we

learn a ton by all of the questions and exchanges.

If you are

overwhelmed, why not have a few experienced

moderators help out...that

would be terrific.

Are you volunteering then?
