I never planned for this to happen, the whole thing has just happened very quickly. I don't like responsibility and was never a manager in the Met Office as I think Will has pointed out, all I ever wanted to at work was program and even today that's true. I was never a brilliant programmer but I persisted! Since retiring and starting my xmetman blog I have learnt so much more about everything meteorological.I don't mean that I'm some kind of expert, but I do the research because I don't want to write utter twaddle in the topics that I write about! You're right about keeping the momentum going in a forum, what I hope I achieve is a more friendly place people can post to without the need for kill filing people, because hopefully I'll have done it for them. Only time will tell if I succeed.
