Weather Forecasting Course

Recreational Users: Make Your Own Weather Forecasts<br><br>Are your recreational plans held hostage by vague local media weather forecasts or weather uncertainty on your part?

{bscott...nothing personal, just part of an extended discussion}<br><br>This looks like an ad and reads like an ad, but...is it an ad of the type which we recently decided we don't want on the TRs?<br><br>This weather forecasting course is obviously of interest to bc skiers/boarders, so no problem there. The main question is whether this post is "commercial". I believe, but am not certain, that the poster, bscott, is also the teacher of the course, and a fee is charged for the course, which would seem to place this post in the "commercial" category. The idea of having a board for commercial posts is looking more and more attractive...<br><br>Any comments?
