Rude statement, "Why settle for Patrick Wiggins.... " I'm not settling for Patrick; I'd rather talk to him than either of the others. What makes Brian Skiff or Sue French particularly knowledgeable about running an observatory in Utah? Should we ask them what days the sprinklers go on at SPOC? The position you take is the same as saying, I have no need for friends when I can watch TV. If you don't enjoy being part of a local group, why belong to SLAS or respond to a UtahAstronomy comment? Why not just send email to Sue French instead? -- Joe
Hear, hear! Well said, Joe. Further, I would be willing to bet that Patrick has more time under the stars than the celebrated Ms. French, over the course of their astronomy "careers".
