Count me in, Bob, where watching for fun is concerned.
I was once told, by one of our illustrious meteor-watchers,
that what I did - (my annual hobby of compiling Perseid observations,
puttin' 'em all together in a catalog full of tables and graphs and
a long narrative which quoted the oo's and ah's of observers, and
sending
it to those who sent me their observations) - was worthless and a
waste
of time. He couldn't seem to grasp the fact that I was doing it
'cause I
enjoyed it.

I can't remember too much about those conversations back then, but I do
remember Bob showing me a copy of your catalog with your various perseid
tables and graphs etc. At the time, Bob and I were both in agreement as to it
being worthless and a waste of time. He may have not said so on this list,
but we both had some good laughs over it. Hey, whatever flips your
skirt...if it puts a smiley face above your neck more power to you. It put
one on ours. :o) Regardless, for scientific purposes it was worthless and a
waste of time.
