As I recall, this started with talking about the sun and sunspot activity. As, for providing links my desire is to prevent plagiarism and avoiding making assertions that have no sources or data to support. The discussion is one of planetary science, seems if your are unwilling to provide a source you are simply making assertions.
Erik Hello, (usually) friendly list moderator here.
Just a point of clarification in that while U-A is primarily a forum for discussing astronomy, it was informally agreed here a while back that any science could be discussed here. So, the current global warming thread is ok. Heck, we've even talked creationism here (hmmm, maybe it's deity that's creating the warming to get rid of the pesky humans.)
Also, while I have your attention, I'll note that while the majority of those on the list get every message as it comes out there are still a few who receive the digest version.
So please folks, especially for those still on the digest version, when you reply to a post on U-A please remove as much stuff as possible from the previous post. Otherwise the Digesters will continue to receive messages that are several pages long.
And to the Digesters, it would be handy if when replying to a digest you change the subject to something relevant rather than sticking with the standard "Utah-Astronomy Digest, Vol XX, Issue YY" the list automatically puts in the Subject box.
Climbing down off my soapbox,
patrick
