Thad & Pest I won't bother with the original post but essentially it came from some guy un Uruguay claiming to be a teacher of Astronomy looking for donations of astronomy goods to help his poor impoverished school. I replied I'd seen the same thing a few years back, instead of Uruguay, Russia was the country of choice. It was later proven to be a scam. The things people "donated" were found later to have been sold on the black market. BTW Jenn, Anytime would be good for some meeting notes???????

America. I mean, you could hide money in eyepieces and magazines. Just my little conspiracy theory... At any rate, I think the question has already been answered as to what to do about the original question that some of us didn't get (say what?!) Maybe a repost of the original is overkill? Thad
