There is nothing wrong with what you asked, or the fact that you did. =
Also, just because a majority was in concensus does not reflect =
negatively on you in any regard! It just means that you were able to =
capitalize on the considerable amount of collective experience present =
on the MOU listserver. As an adult, I have learned tons on it, and many =
of my questions were very rudimentary. It is a great place to ask =
questions and you should feel the freedom to ask as many as you want, =
even if they appear redundant or "dumb" to you. Anyway, over 36 years =
ago, I asked my karate instructor "can I ask a dumb question?", and he =
responded by saying "it is better to ask and look stupid of a moment, =
and not to ask and be ignorant for a lifetime!". So keep asking your =
questions whenever you want.

  Thanks to all those e-mailed me (which was a lot.) I feel stupid now, =
everyone said the same thing: impossible to hold steady, buy from Golden =
Valley's National Camera Store or Eagle Optics. However, only being 15, =
I was not aware of these things! Sorry, but again, thanks for all the =
e-mails! I will not buy the 16x bino's.
