Sound advice indeed. But I don't believe people are fooled. Newcomers could
be, yes, but anyone who has some sense of observation will quickly notice a
pattern...

Well, it is the newbies you have to worry about when people will
insist on asking for money and promulgating pseudoscience.

When evidence is presented of worrying behaviour, and general advice
given on how to rent things for yourself and thoughts on how to check
whether claims are meaningful are meaningful, it's some personal
attack (despite his perpetual cries of being attacked himself) not
addressing anything to do with reality or accusations in any concrete
way, and some grandiose claim about some magazine I didn't even know
they still bothered to print.


I haven't quite figured out where Mr self confessed UKASTRONOMY is
cribbing his Messier notes from, are they direct liftings from
somewhere as usual, or are you actually researching something for
once?

I see that Mssr Vandevenne got voted one star by you Martin, what's
the matter, didn't he agree with you and say your pictures were
great? I think I'll vote him five stars, if only to negate your petty
childishness when you feel your glorious work has not received it's
glorious due.

He has after all reassured me that people see through your perpetual
postings. As long as newcomers don't either give you money or follow
false tracks because of your pseudoscience, I will not bother worrying
about your endeavours. I always recommend to people to read
everything at your links, both your science ones and your blogs, so
they can see what your science actually consists of, what strange and
wonderous things you do, usually for no readily definable, let alone
scientific (although often claimed as such), reason, and how rude and
offensive and what a cry baby you really are when anyone doesn't
praise your work, but just questions it. Oh, and how you ignore all
the evidence at the links of your discretions, and all you many
imaginary friends.
