Ridge Runner, I agree 100% with your comments about some of the posts on
here but I think it's all part of the knockabout of online life. The
immature, the ego-trippers, the bad-mannered and the downright fools will
always be with us, and perhaps online life would be less interesting if we
couldn't express ourselves robustly at times, though of course there's never
any excuse for bad language. But as you yourself acknowledged, there are a
lot of valuable, informative and sometimes humorous posts on here and I
can't help feeling that if you give up on it you'll be throwing out the baby
with the bathwater. But best of luck, though, with whatever you decide to
do.

Although i have rarely contributed to this group over the last ten years
or so i have enjoyed reading the posts and learnt a lot from it, but its
time to call it a day.

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 !
