1) Oops! Error in Issue #10!

Well, nuts. This is two times in a row I have made an error in my newsletter! I said the stickers for autographs are 9x13 millimeters. I would need a degree in nanotechnology to write that small! I meant, of course, 9x13 centimeters. It is mistakes such as this that smack Mars probes into planets (see this web page to understand that joke). Oh well, talk about Bad Astronomy! ;-)

My thanks once again to Bad Reader David MacKay for pointing this out to me. I may need to hire him as a prooffreader too fix my speling erors..

2) Subscribe/Unsubscribe Information

If, for some weird reason, you want to unsubscribe to this newsletter, just send email to badastronomy-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com with no body text. Make sure you send it from the address to which the newsletter is sent! Alternatively, you can unsubscribe from the Yahoo!Groups website. Go to http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/groups/groups-32.html for more info.

Remember, the newsletters will be archived on the website at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/badastronomy so even if you unsubscribe you can still read them there. I suggest staying subscribed so you get them as soon as I send them.

Also, I do not sell your email addresses and neither does Yahoo! Take a gander at the Yahoo!Groups privacy message if it makes you feel better: http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy/us/ Note that the email addresses are visible to me, but I have no prurient use for them. If that makes you nervous for whatever reason, feel free to unsubscribe and simply read the archived newsletters at the website listed above.
