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!Originally Posted by Greg ShafferPatrick, do you realize you posted this at least a dozen times in the span of about 2 minutes?

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.......
