I assure you my friend you do not know me.

Firstly, you incorrectly target, secondly what is your contention,
thirdly by what standard is it staggering?

Why not ask NOAA? My guess is from this question that you know nothing
or very little about what you are attempting to crusade about.

That is YOUR understanding, what is the relevance here?

What right have you to ask?

My friend you have not been reading any of the posts that you find
offending, if you had you would realise that most have little to do with
any of the activities of the WKPP - most are simply an opportunity to
hide behind a keyboard and throw 'stones' at certain people - very much
in the way you are doing right now.

Why would you?

Be very careful here, if you are suggesting that your viewpoint is in
defence of your views on matters supported by your government then you
have one hell of a long road to follow and a million-and-one things to
get on your soapbox about.

You would do well to consider this:- People subscribe to this list at
their own free will - a matter of choice. If they are misled by
wrong/dangerous information then by your wierd rules of association then
all that are subscribed have equal blame for any 'accidents'. If people
feel insulted by a comment (from whoever) then they can unsubscribe as
easily as they subscribed. 

I recieve enough junk in my mailbox as it is without people like
yourself attemting to use a public forum for private crusades.

Regards
