• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Hey gang,

If you were at the past College of DuPage severe weather conferences,
which were in Glen Ellyn, IL...you know how awesome they were.
Speakers such as Chuck Doswell, Don Burgess, Greg Stumpf, Al Moller, and many others provided great insight to professional meteorologists, students of meteorology, and those who just consider themselves weather enthusiasts. If you haven't had calculus, don't worry...but even if you've been on the job for 30 years and have seen a ton of stuff, this conference will be well worth going to. If you are interested, please send Paul an email, not me. His address is:

Thanks! Read on.

Subject: IMPORTANT QUESTION - Please Respond

Hey all,

We are thinking of having a severe weather seminar next October 5, 6, 7 at the Lisle, IL Hyatt Hotel (just 20 miles west of downtown Chicago). Big name speakers etc just as we have had before. However, to do it the way I really want to do it, will require high expenses. I need to know if you would be able to come. Full time student rates will be 100 dollars (includes a lot of food also) and for non-full-time students, it will be 200 dollars. However, in order to pull it off, I need to get at least 40 non-students registered.

So before we sign the contract, I need to know if you will plan to
attend. If I get a really good feeling for it from you (or friends,
colleagues, etc...) we will go ahead with the plans.

Paul
