So what time do you suppose YA will close down?
I'm guessing around 9am when the first YA folks arrive at the office. I'll try to get in a final post before then.
But if not, bye to all the trolls, bye to the people who genuinely wanted to learn, bye to the long-suffering folks who tried to give some sort of sane answers here.
Not sure if I'll join another forum, as I really don't have the time. The beauty of YA was that it was possible to toss together an answer over a coffee and just trust on knowledge rather than spend time preparing to defend every point in the answer.
I am looking into getting a paid gig, probably in book form, so you might have to suffer my rants in that format eventually. Otherwise I have too many other projects to work on to be dispensing wise-cracks, insults and sarcasm online just for the fun of it.

Is the the best astro photo on YA?
I wanted to show you all that you don't need expensive cumbersome equipment to take great astro photos. Here is one I have been wanting to share with you all for some time, but I guess it's now or never.
So here we are folks. Titan and Mars like you've never seen them before. With a bonus quote from Carl Sagan in the background.
1 AnswerAstronomy & Space2 weeks agoAnybody else sick of captcha. Any way to turn it off?
Every answer demands a captcha. If anyone wonders where I got to (or cares), I will be avoiding YA until this practice disappears. I'm not here to assist any organization with their spyware.
