I am retired from Steward Observatory Mirror Lab and have written a few articles regarding how we fabricated 8.4 meter mirrors.  The articles are in their own files and I can't figure out how to submit them for review.  They contain both text and pictures.

To answer your question;  no, I didn't realize it or I would not have done it.  But thanks for bringing it to my attention.  Good to know that my morse code finger is still working well!

LOL

Seems like a fairly consistent issue where the screen does not update when saving a post, I suspect it is browser related as not everyone has the issue. I currently use MS Edge and it doesnt happen with it. When you save a post it would probably be a good idea to refresh your screen as you will likely find that it was already saved and resubmitting it just creates multiple copies. I have seen it with another browser in the past myself....though I dont recall which one.

I have not submitted any articles so I cant offer any advice in that regard.......

Thanks a bunch.  I wasn't trying to be sarcastic.  I really DO appreciate telling me.
