Here's the article - it's a nebula that is one degree above absolute zero.

As for saying goodbye to the O'Club, I'm in agreement with 'Animal'. The main problem is that political 'spamming' drives the actual interesting posts off the first page almost immediately. From my point of view, it's one thing to have an actual discussion about some national security related topic which I have first hand knolwedge of.

'Are dirty bombs that dangerous?'
'What really happened in Bosnia?'
'Why isn't N. Korea being attacked first?'

Hey those are okay topics, especially when the responses are meant to teach someone something or are an attempt to learn something. But a far too high a % of the posts in the 'O'Club' are basically the same these days. If you actually spend time trying to write a decent, informative post (as opposed to cutting and pasting from http://www.bushissatan.com or http://www.clintonwasacommie.com 4 times a day) it's really not worth the effort.

So a to the guys I disagreed with sometimes and agreed with sometimes but were actually in it for the discussion...

any everyone else you know who you are

...if/when the O'Club has a separate department for 'AH BBS ministers of propoganda' I'll see you guys around.

I'll of course be available as a target in the AH arenas.

Not going to be reading the forum. If for some reason you need to contact me: AH_wulfie@cox.net.

Say it ain't so, Shoeless Joe!

I always enjoyed reading your posts Wulfie. Good stuff.

Hope you change your mind; you give up, the other type "wins" by default.

I hope you change your mind. I've always liked your posts Wulfie - they are invariably informative, well thought out and explained. I've often not agreed, or taken a position on something which, from reading your posts, has led me to rethink and question my own views. Kudos, dude. :) You seem to have 'inside' knowledge on a lot of things. I guess that goes with what you do/have done.

and I'll see you in the sky blue, mate!

"Page not found"

But how do they measure a nebula, stars or planet's temperature? Using a probe or is there a way to do it by light refraction?

Oh and quitting is for losers!!!

If you cant stand the heat, get out of the kitchen

If you cant stand the heat, partition the kitchen into seperate sub catagories of kitchen, aka dining room, hamper....

Or, eat out :)

Wulfie, check out AGW. Much slower pase, unless the AH bbs is down, plus many of the same people.

BTW, was on the Coast in Humboldt the other day and said "hi" for ya.
