i hear that and endorse you. Problem is that forums allow trolling, bad behaviour never gets penalised apart from deleting something. There will always be chaff, therfore, its a free for all and thats how it is, lot more amatuers than profesional forecasters on here (hazarding a guess ), me included in the former. But i do fluid mechaics for a living and that involves mathmatical models.... shame i stil dont understand the weather. Havent got time. if i did, I'd read some decent books . Im interested in LRF as it affects my work. But im not getting far...
