Windowpane Observatory has been naming galaxies for people, similar to the name a star, as a fundraiser for astronomy research for almost 20 years. A few years ago, a computer programmer created a free name a galaxy web site. Not only was no pecuniary contribution requested, the name a galaxy web site owner mocked and criticized the fees we rightly requested. We require, however, is his assessment valid? Our contender offered, for for free, a computer-generated certification that must be published at one’s personal disbursement. Our “fee” that he picked apart is a contribution towards the process of our technological installation and the cost of astronomical inquiry that we publish there. The no-charge nominate a galaxy web site renders a person of interest nothing more than an automated program that issues the data that is entered into a web page form. But, there’s a catch. The free name a galaxy internet site commands a person submit their name and email address, despite the fact that all that is ever sent to the registrant is a generated code that is unnecessary to the process. Why is this? You could suspect that the free name a galaxy web site is operated by a spammer who is compiling e-mail addresses and reselling them to a third party.

The operator of this no-charge name a galaxy site notes that he has no intention to sell e-mail addresses. What is his purpose, then? What is his intention for stealing our name a galaxy concept and turn around and make a free galaxy naming web site? If he’s not compiling e-mail addresses for spammers, then perchance he’s just a mean guy. Our customer service telephone number is proudly issued on our website, but his is not. So it is impossible to call this guy and ask him what he’s up to.
