Continued from previous message.

became the definitive forum and public record for matters bearing on 
home astronomy in and around New York. 
    Granted, some of the banter relates particularly to the Amateur 
Astronomers Association. It's the major astronomy union in town and 
every home astronomer around here eventually runs up against it. It 
pays to listen to those discussions (rants? blusters? tirades?), even 
if you opt out of playing in them. At the least, you take into account 
the words of the senior members before joining the Association. Or you 
can let NYSkies dialog modulate your choice to renew AAA membership. 
    NYSkies is the soapbox the AAA Board and rank-&-file had to speak 
out on various Association problems. They turned to NYSkies simply 
because the AAA as yet does not have a good faith sincere forum for 
its own members within itself. 
    Joining NYSkies is easy. Send an empty email to this Yahoo 
maillist at 'nysky-subscribe{at}yahoogroups.com'. Its posts are sent to 
you in your email and you post to it by email. It's that simple! 
    Or you may go to 'groups.yahoo.com/group/nysky'. If you are already 
signed up with Yahoo, you go and sign in and then 'join' NYSkies. If 
not, you have to go thru a silly 'registration' that's a oneshot 
chore, valid for all groups you may eventually join. The files and 
calendar area of NYSkies are accessible only thru the website.
