Yes, I do recall the point system. Thats the one I made the arguement with the 3.0 and Disneyland, correct? I don't recall/or missed your counter arguement. Could you refresh me?

Are you proposing this and comments, or one or the other?

With regards to comments and clicking, I suggested that the comment be below the prediction in the table. I think you may have interpreted that to mean the comment would be below the entire table, which is not what I suggested. There would be no need to click anywhere to see the comment as it would be attached to the prediction, but not in a column, as it wouldn't fit. It would be the next row below each prediction.

I previously stated that your scoring proposal was subjective. My feelings on that have not changed, and I think you'll have a hard time convincing others to go along with it. BUT, if you can get thge majority on the board to agree with you, then we'll implement it.

I think you've gotten the wrong impression about my participation on this board. Yes, I do have opinions about everything, but I have not and will not tell anybody how the board will operate. Quite frankly, It's not my board, and even if it was, I would not TELL anybody what to do. I will make suggestions, I will listen to suggestions, and whatever the majority of the board agrees with I will accept.

The board has never come to an agreement on this subject, which is why nothing has been done.

I feel that pretty much everybody (but not I) wants predictor comments attached to predictions, so it seems we ought to do that.

I don't recall hearing anybody else comment on your scoring propasal so you may want to present it to the board again for comments. If they did, I have forgotten or missed the posts and don't have the time to go searching.

Why don't you email me comments for your Ft. Tejon prediction and I'll come up with a sample table to see how everybody likes it. I'm at earthwaves@epulation.com
