Hopefully, you’ll find more agreement in the future. As for the hard way versus the easy way, I’m all for the easy way when it makes sense. This is akin to the Army Ranger commercials that say, “A Ranger never does things the easy way.” So instead of walking in the front door (the easy way), they blast a hole in the roof and repel down from a chopper?

That always made me go… hmmm…

The only feedback I’ve gotten on my comments about the SkyScout (mostly in private) have been negative.

Like I said in my post, if people don’t want to actually look at the sky for themselves, they could just get a copy of Starry Night. But, enough ranting.

I come from the, somewhat silly, school of thought that people should do things the hard way, rather than the new and fashionable easy way.
