Joe gets a lot of flack on this board - Don't know him - Can't say that I either like him or not - But, what occured to me is this - Why isn't he a user of this forum? Couldn't be that he doesn't own a computer. He's probably an internet subscriber. I've seen him on FoxNews lately, so he definitely likes the publicity. So, what is the answer? Why doesn't Joe come on the board? We have many pro mets here. Is Joe too cool for this board, or what?

JB is too busy to post, I'm sure ... but from what I understand he does browse several message boards anonymously, including this one ...

Thank you Moderators & Forecasters for your responses to this post. But, if Joe is not too busy to browse, why is he too busy to post?

I assume he doesn't want to spend the time typing up his comments and responses to
the immense number of posts he may view when he actually does sign onto the site.

Actually, yes ... a couple of Accuweather meteorologists post on WWBB and frequently have stated that JB does browse the boards and has had messages relayed thru them from time to time ...

Well....I don't get FOX news but i have seen him on PBS 2 times already this hurricane season and hes done a very good job of presenting the situation...His forecasts aren't perfect, but neither are others...His blend of Humor and Weather seem to fuel his popularity.... .02

JOE, if your listening, post MORE free Columns, this 1 every once in a blue moon stuff is annoying...!!!

I would think he would browse WWBB more so than here for reasons we shouldn't get into.
