Merle,
Nope, not binoculars. You're not viewing from a distance.
No, I suggest(ed) a wide-field magnifier.
You said a microscope, earlier. I said that has too narrow a view.
Just try a wide-field reading lens. Like Sherlock Holmes used, but maybe
rectangular in shape these days, with a handle. I use them (in some
field-studies of soil, minerals, gems, coins, etc.).
Save the binoculars for the stars, and for that comet in the West near the end
of evening twilight, "PAN-Starrs" (it looks great from here).
Bill!'s humor was really quite good, and he made a serious point at the same
time. You were not a victim, but a helping-agent. I salute both Bill! and
you!, together making the point that ascribing "Rationalist" is really
name-calling, in our field. Should be on the FCC's list of "seven dirty
words", ...as word number Eight.
