> Bob, I tried to talk Herb Ford into letting you comeback to the AstroMart forum but he said your inappropriate behavior was only the last straw and that he had planned to give you the boot for sometime.  Meanwhile a few months ago I was visiting the ATM class now in Escondido and I was asked if you really actually knew anything about telescope making. We were wondering, have you ever actually built a real telescope and taken a photograph through it, or even of it? I had to admit that after 20 some odd years of living in the same Zipcode, we have never seen a real telescope you have ever owned or built.
