This is an example of why this is the best weather forum out there. I think it will still be another year, though, before I feel sufficiently seasoned to throw out CDO as a casual term.<P>I'm still using training wheels.

Prior was either the Big Wheel or the Green Machine!

Before that was the baby bump & roll thingy that you sat in with just your toes touching, giving you the perfect opportunity to get up enough momentum to crash into furniture just hard enough to tip over glasses of liquids so the dog can get a free drink!

I'm glad there are a lot of rookies at this forum. It makes asking ignorant questions a lot easier.

That is what makes this place so great. This is my third season of following tropical systems and I keep learning so much every year. Keep asking away my friend! 8-)

It took me almost 6 month to start asking questions. Till I realized how great everyone is here and that they gladly answer questions. I tried looking up alot of things myself but the answers I found were greek to me. Everyone here explains it so much better.

Ignorant should not have a negative connotation. It simply means lacking in knowledge...IOW, someone who should be asking questions! It can be used to mean "dumb" but I'm sure that's not what Cape Verde was implying. :)

You're right. I wasn't implying that.<P>These storms are fascinating and having gone through a night when tree limbs were hitting the brick walls of my home, I want to understand as much about them as I can.<P>It's probably a little obsessed to be worrying about a storm east of Jamaica today, but I can't apologize for it. I may be the only one at my office who has the various computer models for hurricane forecasts bookmarked, but that one night (hurricane Andrew) changed my entire perspective. <P>Now I'm a sponge looking for all the information I can get. I can ask ignorant questions here and get respectful and informative answers. I don't think I'm stupid and I don't think anyone else who is asking real questions is either. I'm just grateful that I've found a place where good people are willing to share their expertise.<P>We can joke about hurricanes as long as they're hundreds of miles away, but they're no laughing matter when they're on your front porch.
