The pic never showed up on my disputer yesterday. It was slow loading all day then went offline for a few hours. I suspected an AOl blip. Perhaps it was a glitch on my machine. Since updating to the latest version of AdAware and updating the other security programmes on here, things seem to be OK now. The Picture showed up straight away too as soon as I opened it.

A weatherlawyer is an E-mail address. One has to have something different to get such a thing. Rather like naming racehorces, no two identical names can be used. Since I was not the first Michael McNeil online I had to invent something else.

Now there are other weatherlawyers online. Some are attempted spoofs and some perhaps want to sell me my nom de plume. Why I should want to buy it for a site I don't use defeats me.

A Google search of Weatherlawyer will reassure your readers that you are indeed a fool, as no doubt they have long suspected.

My favourite is the advice given to someone who sprayed her garden with some Paraquat (must have been a very weak solution as it lived).

Cheers,

Yawn.... :roll: I am not sure how a google search proves your statement, but no doubt you have your own preconcieved ideas. I am not sure why you would enter the NZ Weather Forum and post in the manner you have. Perhaps a over inflated ego fueled by an old british empire mentality... I suspect only you know, but I am sure you will "enlighten" us all. :cry:

A google search clearly shows that he is Michael McNeil which he stated in his earlier post in reply to a question from John.

Stop these personal attacks NOW.
