Agreed, Steve.  But, in this case (and I unfortunately started it), we were 
good-naturedly chiding one of our most valued club members and good friend. I’m 
sure that no one involved meant any disrespect – and I don’t think Mr. Harshaw 
took it that way.
 
It’s just that he’s, well, pretty old.  (And all of four years my senior).

See, I remember a time when those with more "life experience" carried more 
respect.  I always looked forward to that respect, and extended it whenever 
possible.  Can't help with the replacement lens set, but, well, there it 
is.>Lapses into a nostalgic dementia<Steve DodderPresident, Saguaro Astronomy
