Where's the romance?

If you liked the thrill is gone, you'll love Friday's column, a more detailed take on the pros v. amateur debate. One thing: The Camera left off the first sentence of the story, so you will have to mentally paste it back in: What's the difference between professional astronomers and amateurs?

(And by the way, have you noticed that there are sure a lot of love songs with this "thrill is gone" theme? There's You Don't Bring Me Flowers. And the one from Top Gun. Any others? Come on, readers, I know you're out there! Or, actually, I don't. So show yourselves!)
