• 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.

President en-route to NOLA...is that really a good idea?

CNN is reporting that a secret service convoy is on the way to NOLA with the POTUS. While I understand the political need for this to occur, is anyone else here wondering if that's not a such a good idea? NOLA isn't exactly a secure place right now, and if there is one person in the world who the citizens are, uh, well, pretty damned mad at, it's the POTUS. The secret service is incredible at providing security, but this seems like a bit more than even they can chew. Who knows -- maybe they'll just send him to the secured NOLA airport or something.
 
Call me stupid, but what does POTUS mean? :oops:

Its an acronym for President Of The United States.

Right now he's still in Biloxi, talking with people.
 
I think he needed to go even if he can't do any more in person than he could have done from DC. When a good portion of the country he's leading are in the middle of a disaster and he's sitting in the White House, it appears as though he's indifferent.
 
I never expected anything less from him, and never doubted he would.

But I can't say I blame him for waiting until the cavalry hit town!
 
From what was said in tv the President doesnt plan on getting out of Marine1 in NO but just fly over it. Marine1 is bulletproof. He wanted to get out but the security folks said no. He may get out at the airport where people who have been rescued are being sent. it is a secure spot.
 
We average an assassination every how many years? I don't know if this is a smart idea.

Every president since William Henry Harrison (1840) elected in a year ending in 0 has died in office, with the exception of Reagan (who was shot) and G.W. Bush. Some have been assassinated (Lincoln 1860, Garfield 1880, McKinley 1900, and Kennedy 1960), others have died of illness (Harrison 1840, Harding 1920, and Roosevelt 1940).

Yes...it's a leadership function. The President has to be seen out directing the troops. Just seeing this can bring hope back to people who have lost it all.
