Well, I guess it could be argued that winter isn't over yet. I'm not
fighting Brian Gazes corner, he's more than capable of doing that himself,
but I will say that he is always the first to hold his hand up and admit he
got it wrong, when a forecast goes tits up.

It's not the forecasts or forecasters that annoy me though, it's just
the
sh*t weather.

To me, forecasting a winter like 2002 TO SMALL CHILDREN, and then NOT
even REMOTELY bothering to apologise when it all goes truly belly-up,
is more than enough to drive a sane, competent, amicable, social person
like me to the end of his tether.

Everything was fine on the forum. I was getting on well with both
admins and general users. Then I decided to make a run for an apology,
and, some fifteen minutes later, I was banned!:-o :-(

I guess the moral is to expect nothing and then you will never be
dissapointed.

If only I had any idea that the winter 2002 forecasts were issued by
fresh-faced young men, based on university textbooks and unproved, more
fringeline theories. If only....:-(
