[GEMPAK #XMX-534740]: GEMPAK

Hi Einar,

No worries.

Very good.  We were just curious...

Excellent!

Yes, this is completely acceptable.

The only issue from our standpoint is one of there not being an expectation
that we are in any obligated to provide full support to an organization
that is not one of our core community of users (i.e., the university
community).  That being said, I must add that we do our best to support
all users especially when helping a non-traditional site has a measurable
benefit to the Unidata community as a whole.  One example of this is when
a non-.edu site reports a bug that others have not experienced, and working
with that site to remedy the bug results in a better use experience for
all users.  This happens routinely for packages like the netCDF, THREDDS,
UDUNITS, and the LDM.

Cheers,

Tom
