Scott....what can I say. I am going to do this: IF you are right and Dolly is de-classified and then re-classified, I will pat you on the back (so you don't have to do it constantly) forever. However, I do not think that Dolly was or is an "easy forecast" at all. For crying out loud, the NHC is having a hard enough time with her track and intensity. Being a meteorologist yourself, you of all people should know that tropical weather is not and NEVER WILL BE an exact science. Atmospheric changes can occur at any given time (re:Andrew) and take us all by surprise.

I've been here for 4 years, and every year you take every chance you get to pat yourself on the back. It is very hard to take someone seriously when everything they say is a tribute to themselves.

John and Mike...if you think I am out of line here, kick me off, I don't care anymore. I'm just tired of it.
