I'm told it appears to be coded into the list's software, although this requirement was not obvious (to me) in past months. perhaps it is to encourage observers to report more positions or to be verbose. I am often verbose, and thought I was doing y'all a favor by keeping my seesat msgs short and to the point(s)(pun intended). conditions tonight were not favorable for observing and reducing more sat positions. above reductions were facilitated with the help of ted's obsreduce program. site coordinates unchanged. this sat was seen with the aid of a 10.1 cm refractor. the email software used to send this message seems not to have a spell checker. some words may contain spelling and/or typographical errors. it is unclear how much unnecessary verboseness is required to pass the "ok to post" criteria. anyone with information as to who what when where how and/or why of the underlying seesat software code should enlighten us, please. Perhaps we can come with standardized add-on that will fool the software, and that everyone can immediately recognize as BS && ignore ...?... please | do not direct your complaints re verbose msg requirements to me. location and identity of observatory 8305 is registered with the proper authorities. additional verboseness available upon request. end trx | ----------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from SeeSat-L, send a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@satobs.org List archived at http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
