This is a general request: and addesses no one in particular:
Please answer questions politely. There is no need for
anything rude even if you perceive the question as obvious.
If someone asks a question, ANSWER POLITELY!

Chances are they could leave it on the list, and no one would ever see the name again in their lifetime (even if we get to the 'W' storm in another year, there is only a 1/6 chance it would be named Wilma again if they don't retire Wilma, which of course they will.)


Or the hurricane seasons in the future could be worse than 2005, perhaps by the time this list is reused getting to Alpha isn't that strange anymore. We'll have to wait and see.

Will Wilma be retired? IMO yes.
