WATS and EATS

#1 Postby dhweather » Wed Jul 27, 2005 1:08 pm

Since I've started the posting daily updates:

WATS - Western Atlantic Tropical Summary (posted as WATS UP)

EATS - Eastern Atlantic Tropical Summary (posted as EATS OUT)

Do you find them useful?

I dont see any reason to stop...it gets a bit redundant with a bunch of different threads up covering similar things, but it gives commenters a more nuanced look at the tropics

I'm new here and they seem interesting and relevant. IMO, keep them up!

I'm not a big fan of those 10-15 page topics so I like many different threads discussing potential tropical disturbances.

Actually, there is no double entendre since the title is only referring to one thing - the weather and nothing else (no secondary meaning intended, thus, no double entendre).

Furthermore, it shouldn't be a problem (nor a joke) since families eat out at restaurants all the time. However, if the wrong comment is made about the "other" meaning, the mods will tackle it.

That you know of. :) A lot of families eat in, too; perhaps that would be a better term. The EATS is in!

The point of double entendre is that both meanings are, in some subtle way, presented so that they are understood. Believe me, if I don't get what the other meaning *could* be, I've got some explaining to do. However, I seriously doubt that there is any other meaning intended in this case. That's not to say certain mindsets won't think it, but it has nothing to do with his forecasts.

Let's agree to disagree on this, shall we, before it gets any..ah...more descriptive.

Sure, as long as it's understood that there should not be a sexual connotation attached to the title nor should there be jokes made about it. If there are, the staff will address the issue with the poster.

I think the good analysis and graphics are very interesting and also very helpful because they are easy for everyone to interpret!
