I agree with you Jack, Proenza brought major attention to the issue & got ran out of town. Jeff Masters was one of the voices against Proenza strictly because he was not accurate in his presentation. It's just like the Al Gore issue with global warming he may not be accurate but the message is there & certain people choose to railroad people because they dont like them. The point was to get the ball rolling on a new satellite, not point fingers. --Previous Message-- : The part of the article dealing with the : replaced director Proenza seems like a lot : of double talk to me. For instance, the : whole point of Master's article is to say : that Quikscat needs to be updated so that we : can rely on it in the future. Well, that was : the substance of what Proenza said, yet, : ostensibly he was replaced because of : related claims about NHC dependence on : Quikscat. Yet his major point is being : adopted here by Masters! Sounds like a lot : of double talk. : : --Previous Message-- : : : http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=1204 : : I didn't know it would take so long to get a : replacement. If what we have fails, it could : be many years before we get a replacement. : : :
