99% of nonbiased posters on here would disagree with you. It's one thing to point out a wobble, it's another thing entirely to turn every wobble into a scenario where it's going to cross someone's house. And it's another thing altogether with fighting over wobbles.

>>...As far as the quality of the board it is second to none...The mods do a great job on this board...I don't condone -removed- or statecasting but I do see wobbles from time to time and have mentioned them on occasion.

And no one is saying anything about mentioning them. But arguing over and over about them is another story. I don't think anyone pointed you out as a culprit, but believe me, they're on here.

>>I just don't see any point in getting flustered about it...If anyone doesn't like a certain thread or a certain post just move on to the next one thats what I do

Myself. I'm not going to have a coronary over someone disagreeing with the NHC or recon vortex or whatever. But you do have posters who track based on water vapor, IR and "blobs" in general who are misinforming others by their hysteria. You don't have to believe me, just PM chad or vbou. They'll give you an affirmative. Just the same, my poem and jkt's replies weren't directed at you. It was more a play off the poetry. That proverbial shoe may not fit you but it sure fits at least 100 other posters ;).

I always thought it was interesting to see all the FL posters immediately begin a wobble thread when a north wobble started, but you didn't hear a peep from them if there was a W or WNW wobble. The fighting was ridiculous, again is was still 2 or 3 days over land, some of it began when near Jamaica. The only people needing to worry about the wobbles in Jamaica were Jamaicans.

The quality is great here. Mods are absolutely great and catch things quickly.

And, again a large majority of people here don't do this, in fact Feederband, I don't know if you were one of them or not. But every wobble has to be taken with extreme caution because in all likelyhood it will wobble back as we saw with Dennis. I believe you wait to wait 3 hours before its a trend and 6 hours before an actual movement. I saw very few wobbles that lasted an hour, much less than 3. The north wobble overnight Sunday morning before landfall was signifincant and did have an impact, because we were hours from landfall. If it had happened before then, especially before Cuba, it wouldn't have been a huge issue.

No I usually don't talk about the wobbles that much and it usually when close to land...And I do believe we know the people that seem to adjust the wobble toward them, And I know Steve is not directing anything toward me but I have also seen alot of newbees which is good post alot about wobbles only to get shut down abruptly by people and with them being new I hope they don't get the wrong impression and not come back..
