Sadly now its seems to have become a place for a number of folks with egos
larger than your average tropical CB to rip the crap out of anyone that
they
see fit and mostly for no apparent reason.

I thought the group was uk.sci.weather so perhaps some have confused it
for
uk.sci.******s ?

Thanks to all those who have posted constructive and infiormative stuff
over
the years, Bernard Burton, Will Hand, Southend Keith, Colin Youngs, Darren
Presscott to name just a few, it was a pleasure being part of it all.but
lifes to short for all the crap on here so now is the time for me to
leave.

Have fun and i hope you get your dream winter Will !

Hi Robbie,
To be honest I agree with you. I have a young daughter and during
spells of exciting weather I used to show her the posts to get some
idea of the excitment of a weather "event". Sadly there is so much bad
language and vitriol that there is no way I can just let her browse
the posts. You are right that this group used to have something to do
with weather and science. I would be genuinely intimidated to give
away my full name and address as some of the language used is far
beyond what is acceptable.
So see ya and take care.

You just complained about bad language to a man who used the word
"******s". Do you grasp the word irony.
