What I am wondering is what constitutes a purchase? If I send a check for an item, but I didn't get it before the MM, would that still be considered a purchase? I assume one can 'think' about buying something and even talk to an astronomical vendor and neither would not enrage the Clear Night Sky god. I think, Rick, you need to go into great detail on all the qualifying factors, maybe even coming up with the astronomical equivalent of the 10 Commandments. I can just see you now coming down Mt. Kitt Peak with a stone scroll cradled in each arm.......... :-) Stan -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list. -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list.
