I agree with Rod (except for the issue of my pobox.com address which I
wanted to use to filter Astromart messages to go wherever I am at the time
and not just to one account), there are a lot of scammers out there. While
I don't necessarily agree with all of Herb's decisions, it has kept
astromart an extremely safe place to be. I don't mind a few extra hoops to
jump through so I can keep getting the kind of quality dealings I've had up
there. Both buying and selling stuff has been a great experience and I've
got to play with all kinds of equipment (both little and big) that I
otherwise never would have had a chance to. I've learned quite a bit about
how I like to observe because of it.
Mike.
