Do Mergers Exist?

by Terrance_L._Johnson

Personally held theories about mergers should not automatically overrule the observations, judgements and resulting classifications of all other Zooites. IMHO. These issues should be taken up with the professionals that manage the Zoo.

He cites: "...Galaxy interacting with companion galaxy..."

But it is not a merger of course.... OUCH that hurts!

Absolutely agree with you!

Why not a merger? There is nothing ambiguous about the radio source (it is cited in nine different sources). QSO is cited in two.

Btw, fuzz do you personally contribute to Zoo also the regular way, meaning by doing the classification job?

Obviosly the only job you do is copy/paste ... Clicking the NED link is soooo difficult...

I'd be happy to read a published scientific paper written by fuzz_lightyear aka. joinpep aka blue_crew about the non-existance theory!
