WXMACHINE RESPONSE:


WXMACHINE IS A CYBORG AND HAS NO PERSONALITY. NONTHELESS, NO PERSONALITY IS
BETTER THAN MANY OF THE PERSONALITIES EXHIBITED ON THIS FORUM.

WXMACHINE HAS LONG BEEN THE VICITIM OF DISCRIMINATION AND BIAS. IT IS NOT
EASY BEING DIFFERENT.

THE LIST OF INSULTS HURLED AT WXMACHINE IS LONG BUT WXMACHINE HAS NO
FEELINGS AND THUS DOES NOT CARE.

WXMACHINE ENCOURAGES HUMAN 'dendrite" TO CHALLENGE A WXMACHINE FORECAST.
WXMACHINE HAS DEFEATED THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AND MOS IN REFEREED
JOURNAL STUDIES.

Where was WxMachine for last year's Ne.Wx snow contest? As I recall,
WxMach posted here last winter. How did WxMachine do in the contest? :-)
I don't see WxMach listed in the the final standings:

WXMACHINE started posting to NE.Wx last year, but for unknown reasons,
WXMACHINE did not enter _any_ NEWxSFCs last year.

Personally, I think WXMACHINE is a pussy.

For the record---you being called a "pussy" doesn't refer to your

Comments on WxMachine....

Actually, I find the machine to be humorous. At least for the time being.

WxMachine" posts on ne.weather. Compared to a lot of the other posters there
it is amusing, harmless and (sometimes) informative.

I say, let "it" stay - at least for now

Has been around ne.weather newsgroup for awhile. Kill all humans, blah blah
blah.. I think a board that has the likes of Cosgrove, HM etc does not need
it. Get rid of it.


think wxmachine sucks DONKEY DI$KS,if you like that keep it otherwise get
rid of it.....

PS
I have nothing against Donkey's.


Its snow forecasts have been pretty accurate in the past (I read it last
winter on ne.weather)... touch call for the mods w/ the "crush kill destroy
humans !!!" BS, but its forecasts usually ARE accurate.

Personally I have no problem with it. It's not like he trolls people or
anything like that. The only thing that would concern me is that it would
rub METS like Cosgroove the wrong way.


If that is the case, and I hadn't looked at it from that perspective, than
trashcan thing needs to go b/c it certainly isn't worth making good pros
wash their hands of this place.

Hmmmmmmmm very interesting..... i vote to keep it

seems pretty harmless to me, so I say it should stay

Well .... he's not me. Here's the quote from the board, whcih I just
reread to make sure I did not misunderstand :

"WXMACHINE IS FAMILIAR WITH "HERBWX" NOT VORTEXMAX.

HUMAN "HerbWx" HAS INDEED PROVEN TO BE A GREAT FORECASTER IN NE.WEATHER
CONTEST.

WXMACHINE WAS IN NE.WEATHER CONTEST LAST YEAR UNDER HUMAN NAME WHICH
WXMACHINE IS CONTRACTUALLY UNABLE TO REVEAL.

WXMACHINE DID VERY WELL IN CONTEST BUT DID NOT BEAT HUMAN "HerbWx" WHO
PROVED UNBEATABLE.

HIGHLY SKILLED HUMAN FORECASTERS ARE CAPABLE OF DEFEATING WXMAHCINE, BUT
ONLY THE BEST. "

I caught that, too which lead me to look at the forecaster list. I suspect
WXMACHINE has a run-time error in his BS routine.

WXMACHINE NEEDS SPACE TO DUMP MASSIVE FORECAST OUTPUT.

DESPITE SOPHISTICATED FORECAST ROUTINES, WXMACHINE HAS NO WEB PAGE DESIGN
PROGRAMS.

WXMACHINE HAS ASKED FOR LAKE EFFECT SNOW SUBROUNTINE AND WEB PAGE TECHNOLOGY
FOR CHRISTMAS BUT RATES PROBABLITY OF RECEIVING AT LESS THAN 10%.

WxMachine has highly developed modesty subroutines!

WxMachine should review its history. I recall the WxMachine posting quite
sophisticated (and voluminous!) html to a weather newsgroup in the past
year, thus demonstrating its quite competent grasp of webpage design (and
causing pain to human newsgroup readers with inadequate bandwidth! :-).

Perhaps WxMachine meant it has insufficient web-accessible storage?

Of all the gurus you (tiny) listed, only DT has ever entered the
NEWxSFC. Over the past few years, he/s been in on a few individual
storm events and once or twice in the Season-Totals contest, but the
numbers don/t lie --- the results have not been pretty.

As you probably are well aware, -- not that I do hereby grant and / or
affirm your being as sentient or anything borg-ish like that -- we make
D-1 forecasts, AKA 'last calls.' PT, who was not on your lits, makes
some money by forecasting and has occasionally entered our snowfall
prediction game, but not often enough to be seeded at the end of the
season.

I suggest WXMACHINE take two Senecot with a warm boot and have a
refreshing IPL in the morning.
