No, I don't know what you mean and I've been coming here for 5
years. In any case the same could be said of snow, which often seems
"to take the reason prisoner". Contrails must have an effect on the
radiation budget, being at times so widespread. 4 oktas of
anthropogenic cirrus is not negligible, and worth discussing.

It must have been longer ago that I realised.
There was an American chap, can't remember his name, who regularly posted
his theories on contrails, which was mainly about the conspiracies of the US
government. So long ago that I can't remember what it was all about.
Thr problem was that the posts were about 2 miles long and he kept getting
involved in petty and sometimes quite threatening debate. It was quite an
issue at the time.
The comment was tongue in cheek Tudor, I'm always open to "serious" debate.
