There's been a lot of talk about bogus reports being sent in via Spotter Network (like the one John Wetter just pointed out from Dupage Co. IL last night). However, there's a new trend I'm noticing. What is up with people putting cheesy "one-liners" in their notes field on SN? They don't do any good for anyone. It does not help the NWS in any way, and if you ask me, it could encourage others to do the same thing (and possibly encourage more of this bogus reporting). It can be a useful field when storm spotting/chasing-relevant information is put in there. I'd think the NWS meteorologists who see these may not take the reports quite as seriously. I know I wouldn't. Just a thought.
