Re: (meteorobs) Zay vs Davis



Hello Citizens of Peyton Place!

Mark...George...why don't you two kiss and makeup.... looks like you'd make a good team to me.

IF not --we need to get a fight promoter and go on "pay per view"

I have found in communications that after a maximum of 3 exchanges of "explanations" back and forth on a subject, that there is no new information to be shared -- only hidden agendas to grind into each other's necks.  So right, wrong, or indifferent... you have been asked before to take these OFF TOPIC  monotonous monologues out the door.  I expect to be ignored as you have ignored others who have made a similar request, but I am now on record and in the archives.   

You two are  so emotionally invested in winning "debate points"-- that you have lost perspective.  Effective, interesting, and relavent information  left this thread a LONG while back.  The audience which came originally has moved on to Jerry Springer and you two are fighting in an empty stadium.  So while no one is looking  quietly change over to an ON TOPIC issue and we'll all be the better for it.  I think I speak for most of the list in saying  We DON"T CARE about what you are debating--it is a personal attack and therefore OFF TOPIC.

IF you REALLY do care about meteors and the education and recruitment of new observers, both of you need to walk away from this and all similar threads.  The members have already seen this argument for what it is.  Neither of you will lose face and the first one to walk away will probably be seen as the more mature party.

For the rest of the list who may have read this far, I do not relish the parent role when talking to other adults.  I care about the flow of relevant communications on a topical list.  I care that people who voluntarily associate for related purposes on a special interest list get what they are interested in-- be it Dog Breeding, Gourmet Cooking or Meteor Observing--.  A dog fight is not relavent here  even if the dogs are named Pluto or Astro. 

 George and Mark......  we are tired of your line-by-line "angels on a pin head " debate and if you respect us you will not be so arrogant as to suggest we just set up mail filters to avoid listening to them on Meteorobs.
