Which begs the question...what is the attraction? Morbid curiosity? Just curiosity? Surely (yes, I know...don't call me Shirley :lmao:) anyone with a TV can find weather across the country. Or for that matter, anyone with a cell phone can search for weather anywhere in the world. So why the attraction? :chin:

I would submit it is basic human nature to want to take a look. Sort of like driving by the scene of a recent automobile accident when curiosity gets the better of us and we turn our heads and take a peek. Otherwise, what is the explanation for such behavior?

An even better question is why are there so few posters on a forum with sooo much traffic???

That is a good thing!!!

It is my opinion, and I am not expert, that the bots that visit an established site like this are where most of those views are coming from.
However, that means anyone who types winter in a search gets a chance at our humble little thread.

SO the lesson here? .204 guns are great, hunting ground rats is great...but to appeal to a broader audience, its a good idea to also post about other things, like streaming video, brass cleaning, etc etc...

I am not an expert, just a guy who likes to read and occasionally share my opinion. But I think there's a lesson in here somewhere...
