I've received a few comments (one, maybe two) in the past that AZ-Observing is too much of a Phoenix mailing list or even a SAC mailing list. While some of this can't be avoid since a majority of observers in Arizona will naturally live where the majority of the people live, the recent message thread about the SAC Novice Group session struck a resonate chord. So these questions are for non-SAC members, and in particular, those who are outside of the Phoenix area: Was the Novice Group thread too far outside the scope of what this mailing list should discuss? In what ways was it on/off topic? We seem to have particularly few people from TAAA (Tucson) attending this list, particularly since they have nearly as many members as the two larger Phoenix clubs combined. Is this due to the content of the list (too focused or too off-topic) or due to the lack of promotion on my part? Thank you for an insights in advance. -Paul -- This message is from the AZ-Observing mailing list. See this message's header if you want info about unsubscribing or the list's archive.
