Without wishing to offend or cast dispersions upon the good character of some learnard fellow... Yes I am a amateur astronomer. While many of my friends found the need for 'higher education' I did not. , and still do not feel the need to do any such thing. In this regard I have made an observation that will not win favour with some... Some people are educated above there ability. They become pompous boring and pedantic to the extreme... One of my colleagues is most well known for over answering questions at the observatory... he freely admits to being a pompous git when answering school children's questions and has been witnessed actually frightening them away... One poor child asked of the moons gravity... hours passed and my friend was still dropping golf balls and feathers all about the place... 'arm waving till Christmas', I call it. So when I saw this question about the respective education levels of board members, I was tempted to respond. Its not what matters. A persons ability to inform others in a interesting and intelligent manner is. Education does not go there. I am not saying education is a bad thing. That is not true. , but knowing how to best use your education is perhaps more important.
