Agreed. My apologies to Dr. Gay for any discomfort or other bad feelings I may have caused.

Nobody might object, but why not just ask and make sure?
Makes sense. Not only to make sure, but as a professional courtesy.

Therefore, although a short-timer, my posts are available for such a study, although they tend to be based more on the nuts and bolts of astronomy and space exploration rather than the theoretical side. Plus a few attempts at humor now and then.
