Your invitation to join...
Dear All
You are cordially invited to join a web forum that I've just put together called Weather and Climate. It's a Google forum so if it's against your religion then it's business as usual for you, but if possible why not cross post for a while to see how it goes. Anyone can join but anything you submit will be subject to the rules and they are simply this forum is for topics pertinent to weather and climate from UK and around the World. Don't feel you just that you have to write a dissertation about any topic that you want aired, maybe just send a photo of a CB or some shallow fog, or maybe a cloudscape or sunset. I have absolutely no experience of running a web forum at all, but I can distinguish a story that has little if anything to do with the weather and boot it out. I don't know if this forum will (a) attract enough members to be viable or (b) take too much of my time to run, but I'll see how it goes, all I'd say is please bear with me. Surprisingly I already have 7 people who are willing to give it a try! Bruce. |

Well I'll be Danton to your Robespierre I'll come a cropper and you don't hang about in the bath unnecessarily. Reminds me of the outspoken Petrograd barbers association during the 1917 Russian revolution. revolution. They increasingly became a fringe group, got cut off and they to became a cropper after a very close shave. People don't know this as Stalin had it hair brushed out of history, but the original revolution slogan was Beard, Peace and Land. |

The original reason that I returned to this newsgroup was to invite any of the active members to try the new weather and climate forum that I created this week almost by accident, on Google Groups. Unfortunately this post, like many other threads on this newsgroup it was hijacked, and its original intention was lost.
This is just a reminder to anyone reading this, there is a simple alternative which is free from posts that have little to do with weather, and where you (can't and) won't need a kill file. We now have 22 subscribers which has surprised me, I hope you will join us and together we can make it work. |

What this forum needs if it is to survive and thrive are your posts, so keep them coming! He is hardly management material, no offence intended but most people just aren't. You can't hope to float any enterprise without knowing exactly what you are doing and trusting people much more than he shows. Basing a forum on people who just want other people killed is somewhat American, is it not? If he had more sense he would have got a good forum package from Sourceforge or WordPress. And learned how to use it before sending it out to fend for itself. He is relying on Google (if he knows that much) because the bandwidth from them is plentiful. The problem there is that the facilities are cut to the bone -compare Blogger for example. |

You should link your account to Google and create a throwaway that you onlu use to sign into Google's network. Or you should et an email with google because you want to make the use of an account you can comment to Youtube with store articles on Google docs and work with other users to create whatever. And you should get an address to get the 15 GB of storage free. But if you have to join a network you don't want so you can post on a forum? Get an different forum you ned. |

Yes, they would exclude discussion of politics, but why should a forum about the weather be a suitable place for that? I take it that you haven't read anything I have posted on here recently, because all my Youtube links have been about the abuse of science (and physics in particular) by the flowerpots of the IPCC. I would suggest that you go and read some of them or am I in your killfilters? If I am then that is your problem not my problem. My problem is that I don't keep a score on posters I reply to. If they don't respond I think they don't respond because they don't want to, not because I am filtered out. If they want to do that I really don't mind. The problem is I am supposed to know what they don't know? They can **** off! See if I care. I can't imagine using a forum where anyone is filtered out. Why would you want to be a part of a fraction of a discussion? Stupid or what? |

All the youkay has accomplished in reasserting independence is freeing Teresa May to do what she always wanted with GCHQ. Or were you being disingenuous? |
