something in astronomy is wrong

Today I chatted with my old friend Phil Marshall (SLAC) about various things. Well actually I ranted at him about catalogs and how their use is related to the way they are made. He was sensible in reply. He suggested that we write something, and maybe also develop some guidance for the NSF LSST developer community. His recommendation was to create some examples that are simple but also that connect obviously to research questions in the heads of potential readers. Easier said than done! I said that any such paper needs a good title and abstract. He pointed out that this is true of every paper we ever write! Okay fine.
