Sorry buddy, another tough break !… if it is any consolation, it was Solar Noon on my 7+ Colombia forecast at 17:02 UTC today 🙁 .
However, this begs the question, if “you” are using Ben Davidson’s method, and I am using electromagnetic connection… what is this egotistical dinosaur talking about on rationalwiki.org ?. We use different methods, but we both get our fair share of hits and misses by using the influences of the “SUN”, to determine potential locations in the first place !!
I think Ben should have a bunch of T shirts printed with “Delusional and Proud” for his conference… I would buy one 🙂
And another thing… I may have been a bit of a thorn in your side during past dealings (with regrets), but I can’t help being a guy who tries to follow the rules… especially if they are here in black and white. And in this case, the rules state that you should submit this forecast into the successful proclamations forum for assessment by the management. Then management should inform you and the forum of their decision. If a miss is the ruling… then fine. But four fellow forecasters including myself believe a ruling should be in your favour.
Darn!… I am probably a thorn in someone else’s side now 🙁
