jburns Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 All right, guys (and gals), I think WilkesboroDude has paid his dues. Let's give him another chance. No need to run someone off who is obviously very passionate about the weather. We're all somewhat passionate about the weather or we wouldn't be here in the first place. So, he started a few threads early: Not a big deal. Life goes on after some good-natured ribbing. It goes well beyond this thread. I tried the humor approach with my tropical thread. When hints aren't taken you have to get out the 2x4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
