We are not communicating.  I am not saying that at all.  I would appreciate if you would
acknowledge my disclaiming your assertion, and stop repeating it.

How does having scopes in the loaner program that are typical of what is commercially available
(which tends to also be what is typically available in Dobs/Newts via ATM) get interpreted into
trying to get people to buy scopes?  I have never suggested the SJAA try getting people to buy
scopes.... I am certainly not sponsoring the idea that such should be the purpose of the loaner
scope program.
