You're new here, right?

This article was a bone of contention between this board and the OTHER AstroSafari forums; so much so that the PTB at Wikipedia locked the article because the OTHER AS forum owner directed everything to his board and deleted any and all references to this board.

I'm SOOOO glad that deal is over. It was just ridiculous. I'd be embarrassed over that entire episode if I were AA.
