Dunno. Last posting from Bruce that I can see was 21st March. As to his
blog, I'm seeing:

"xmetman.wordpress.com is no longer available.

The authors have deleted this site."

Exactly. Given that Bruce was so keen I fear that something has happened. I
cannot believe that he has bowed to pressure from the Met Office or
elsewhere to remove his blog, why should he?

I was subscribed to his blog and noticed the other day that there was no
access. Like others I hope he is well.

He's alive and kicking - just heard from him.

Glad to hear it.

I was getting a bit worried when a search for him on Twitter suggested
that he had been on that up to about the same time he last posted on
this group.

I agree that it is very good news, but would it be possible to persuade him to reinstate his blog? I didn't agree with all he wrote but variety is the spice of life.

Cheers, Alastair.

If it is a non profit use the Met waives the copyright as far as I know but the legality of preventing anyone freely assisting the public in an educational role is at liberty to publish quite a lot of their stuff -again it is only as far as I know.

Hope he is OK.

It's a shame it has gone completely, I really enjoyed the blog.

Wishing him well in his future endeavors.
