I'll take this opportunity to say that this is be my last posting on this
ng, as it appears that my contributions regardless of whatever I wish to
say, are obviously no longer welcome:-(

Oh come on Gavin!

Just make sure your posts are relevant to this group. I enjoy your summaries
regarding past winters/summers; keep them coming.

You've just been going a bit OTT with the political stuff lately and I am
sure your anti-global warming stance has wound up a few people (me
included); stick to the science and your posts will be valued.

Nasty, snipey lot here, it seems. There have been quite a number
of posts over the years relating to the visibility of the moon and
planets. It does depend on the weather, after all.

Tudor, anyone with any scientific knowledge who takes seriously the
idea that Mars will appear the same size as the full moon hasn't got a
clue. Gavin is, quote, a Fellow Member of the Royal Meteorological
Society, unquote.

Apart from his irritating habit of posting off-topic, he should know
better than to post that sort of rubbish here.

With all due respect, I don't for one moment think that Mars could appear
the same size as a full moon. I asked for some advice on this, as this
after all is a technical ng, and in moments someone very kindly on this
ng passed on the URL to me, which explained what was going on. I have
since forwarded that URL on to the person who sent me that email in the
first instance, and she has since replied saying thank you. That's all
there is to it. I am sorry that anyone was annoyed by that:-(
