I also read sci.electronics although most of the posting are hobby related (although I keep an eye on it for professional reasons too). I read sci.astronomy. Like most of the readers of that group I am an amateur that likes to take my telescope out on clear nights when the mosquitos are not too bad. I have two pets, a dog and a cat.
