I'll say again, IF a person has the knowledge and wishes to use that
knowledge, learns how to operate the Orion, is not an angry person, and
truly wants to offer something to our community, then we can all benefit.
Most of the reflector comments are helpful, positive and negative. Ten Tec
listens and acts on these comments.
This offering falls far short for some or all the reasons above!
