Mark - that may be the case for your company, but that is not the case for Mike Smith's. He's in it for the dollars (have you read his book? ) It should be fairly obvious that private alerts are fine - but need to stay private. Every time one of his clients alerts people for tornadoes that aren't really there and don't connect to a NWS warning, bad things happen. This is not the first time this debacle has occurred.
I'm not confusing them at all - just knowing based on his philosophy that his error is on the side of money, not caution. And I strongly encourage private sector to issue their own warnings...
