Where Do We Put Vendor Forecasts?

[am19psu]

I've received some PMs questioning why JB, DT, etc forecasts are being put in the MR discussion thread. I see both sides, as they ARE making medium range forecasts, but often discussion of THEIR forecasts leads to threads getting off topic. I figure the easiest way to get resolution is through democracy. I'll let this poll up through the weekend and you guys can decide whether we should keep the vendor forecasts in the MR/LR thread or to start a thread that houses their forecasts only. Thanks for your vote.

I should point out that I'm indifferent. Whatever you guys decide is fine by me.

Agree doesn't really matter as long as we can capture all thoughts and ideas - good stuff!

Thanks!

Maybe we just have a catch-all JB/Henry M/DT thread and let it go?

Yeah, that's the "separate thread" option.

I'd lean catch all but I really don't care either way...

Whatever keeps all the kids happy.

Catch-all. Isn't that what the NYC subforum did? Maybe ai'm overreacting a bit, I don't know.

I think posting these in the medium/long range threads is fine, as long as it fits with the discussion...

Anyone posting Henry M.'s thoughts should be IP banned though...

Hahahaha awesome!

I'm partial... But I'm leaning towards a seperate thread (after voting med-lr)

Those posts get off topic too easily and spam up quality disco.

I think swift and merciless moderation would help here...

50/50 split. This is sooooo dramatic.

[vogelhund]

We should probably put them in the Mid-Atlantic forum.

I like them in the MR or LR threads when they are talking about MR or LR threats. My hope that people will only comment on their forecasts and avoid tangents or rants about the forecasters themselves.

The problem is that it often ends up about them rather than the forecasts.
