Fortunately, I recieved better and more intelligent advice
elsewhere...
that figures, of course:

It is indeed fortunate that you received legitimate responses to
such a
belligerent and ill conceived post. No one is arguing that
freezing fog
was likely the result of a proper manual augmentation. But your
cries
will fall upon deaf ears unless you refine your approach.

The fact that several people gave you that advice and your response
was to
imply that they are wrong because they are posting here tells me
that you
just don't get it. I've always written your loose-cannon approach
off to
youthful exhuberence, but if you don't get over it soon, it will
turn into
something that will create life-long difficulties for you.

This is the last time (I think) that I will risk a flaming by
counseling
you against self-inflicting wounds. Its your life, but an open
mind will
save you from a lot of future grief.

****************
Clearly, I have changed my mind yet again...good thing I left the
little hedge in there.
****************

My point was not simply regarding posts like this one, but to the
state
of this place in general... for example, here is the list of the most
recent topics as listed on Google Groups:

Lazy FAA Observer at Trenton-Mercer Airport
Bartlo thinks Jackson is sexy [ Pest posts, March 12-26
etc ...
I mean, for Pete's sake, half the topics are ridiculous...

Then, we come to what has been increasingly annoying about this
place... attacks.

For example:
I posted the AccuWeather Channel news release. No, not to make Joel
happy or whatever you sick pathetic losers here think,

****************
Who is a sick pathetic loser? This is not a good foundation for a
persuasive argument.

****************

but because I
thought SOME of you might just be a little interested. Instead,
MeatyUrologist makes one of the most insulting responses I have ever
read, for NO reason except perhaps the fact that he is actually a NWS
employee who hates us as much as SOME (not all) at AccuWeather hate
him.

****************
I don't know who he is or who he knows at accuweather, so I guess I'll
just have to take your word for that.

****************

Another one... I make a post bemoaning the lack of snow State
College
is receiving compared to normal and compared to my home town, and
MeatyUrologist pops in again with "How much icing would it take to
collapse the fortress on Science Park road? Worker's Comp!!!"...

****************
Actually, that was pretty funny. I recently saw George Hamilton (older
actor, hair always in place, rediculously dark tan, etc...) making fun
of himself and his tanning/grooming habits, etc. He has been the
target of ridicule for those traits in the past, but comes off as maybe
just being a decent guy anyway because he is willing to have a little
fun instead of getting defensive and ****ed off. This might be a good
model for you to consider. The fortress on Science Park road sounds
like an inside joke, which strikes me as more of an attempt to
bond...or at least heal wounds, than as an attempt to harm you. You
need to work on your sense of humor.
****************

I could even mention the "blizzard condition" debates... TQ was the
star in those, of course...

****************
I felt that he was playing the supporting role of straight man ;-)
****************

The fact of the matter is that this is a deplorable place to discuss
anything.

****************

It still works for me.

****************

Only reason I still post here at all is to annoy the hell
out of those who would rather see me leave....there are certainly
better places to discuss the weather on the 'net.

****************

You are doing a better job of annoying those who would rather see you
stay.
