Barlows and Beginners

Hello to all...

As a moderator of this forum, I try to read every post on every thread. I think it is important that when we post here, we keep in mind the original question and make sure that our response addresses and/or clarifies the original question in terms and concepts that a first time scope owner can understand.

The current thread regarding barlows seems to have gotten out of hand rather badly and while it is interesting to me, I am quite sure that it is not something that is relevent to a beginners situation.

It is true that sometime fine points must be addressed. But when one does this, it must be explained in terms that a beginner can understand and always in the back of the mind one should be remembering what the original question was and why it is important to make this fine point.


So, if you want to post anything further on this topic or any other topic in this forum, please keep it simple and directly applicable...

Jon
