shtsqsh, right or wrong, from my early days on TA my thoughts were that at least one prime objective of F6's here was to create a factual data bank on just about any topic of interest to anyone. That's one reason why i see linking most posts to others helps in a way.
Tornado Alley in it's name itself is a turbulent place, and hopefully will serve future generations as some sort of decent data bank covering to some reasonable depth all sorts of change.
