Fred,

Some of us are not astronomy experts and enjoy (and are informed by)
the stardate postings.  Perhaps you should be reading net.astro.expert
(I believe that is the correct group name) instead.  As has been
pointed out in the past, the stardate postings are actually scripts
for the stardate radio series.  They are directed to the general
public and are not intended as a tutorial for astronomy experts.

I second (or I guess it's third :-) the Bravo! for Stardate.
