I made fun of the computer forcast systems for many years here, mainly under another sn. It took me a while until I realized the amount of pride, emotions, and knowledge that these guys have for them. Im not a knowledgeable model guy, but I can tell you they are not relying on any single run to draw a final conclusion, but the high anxiety and emotions attached to every map here can make it seem like it at times with some poster's. The inferior models are used like a small factor in an equation. They are just looking for trends and hoping other models and solutions will follow and / or use it to compromise, blend, add, and eliminate from their own forcast and a lot more . These guys are very passionate about this stuff and do get pissed. The good news is It could have been worse had you said that in the Mid-Atlantic thread.
