Mike, it just ties in with the whole Foreflight thing since ScottD is a Foreflight employee.
As others have mentioned, weather can be discussed in any of the numerous appropriate forums that already exist.
And (all the following is just opinion):
I have a long history on the internet with Scott and my opinion is:
There are professional members on various pilots boards who give up themselves freely (like Charley Melot, the ADA boys, etc.). Scott is not one of them. Anytime there's a weather question Scott will give an answer similar to "well, there are thunderstorms, and then there's big thunderstorms. And if you want to learn more than that please sign up for my upcoming seminar for $400!"
But what really ****es me off about Scott is that he will set up a seminar and people will sign up for it. But if there's not enough people signed up to make it worth his while then he will cancel the seminar at the last minute. That policy is indeed included in the fine print on his website, but on at least one occasion, one or two people lost their non-refundable airline ticket because Scott canceled at the last minute. This was way back in the CPA days. It caused a pretty good ruckus.
Sorry, he's not here (or anywhere else) for the betterment of the community...he participates only for the betterment of himself. And if I suspect anyone of posting here in an attempt to help him, I will definitely go ballistic because I have no use for people who are trying to take advantage of my friends.
Check out his posts here, he's the Mike Busch of weather.
