In related news, the National Weather Service has agreed to stop publishing any weather data which might be of commerical value. Accuweather has gratiously agreed to step in and provide this data... for small $499.99 per month fee.

Do you get a rebate if you pay for a year? ;)

Oh, if I only had the fortitude to withstand the wrath of WXWP and cross-post this to the VWS forum...

Hope you did.... it'd be nice to see him lose the plot again. :P

Yeah - ask WeatherOZ!

The plonker went and blocked out a whole class C ip address block to ensure that I couldn't view his forum.

Obviously a big fan for collateral damage, as there were two other former vws users who also got blocked by wxwp's childish actions, who now run freewx.... sad part was that I recommended them to go vws (when I used to run it), and tried to get them to go to WD, but once bitten, twice shy of paying good money.
