Our Gulf Coast FReepers use this site for quick access to info.
There are a lot of FReepers who use dial up.
For graphics over 50K--post a link with description. That is
not asking too much. If you have a problem with that, take
it up with the keeper of this thread.
You know, eastforker really pissed me off. If he/she had not I wouldn't be posting this and would have ignored her/his rudeness.
First, this is the first that I've heard of keeping images down to 50K in size. I can do that if necessary. That's not asking too much and when I post images in the future I will try to do that as I tried to keep the size down in my last post.
Second, if there are FReepers in the path of the storm relying upon a political forum for accurate weather information about a dangerous storm, and are basing their decisions upon that information found on a political forum, they need to get a real big clue really fast. What they're doing is dangerous.
Third, on Free Republic there are no "keepers of the thread". I've been here longer than most anyone on Free Republic (if you check, my membership number is in the low triple digits) so I know what I'm talking about.
I thought that the graphics I posted were beneficial to all. That seemed to be the consensus. In fact, I offered to map the locations of known FReepers so that we can see if the hurricane is heading in their direction and keep track of that kind of thing. I had only one FReeper request to be mapped but I may map more if asked and if the self-appointed thread cops go find another hobby.
