“have a question for you re: Twitter posts. If I see the SPC has posted a new Day 1 and I want to share it, what would I rather do - share a tweet from the SPC or go to the SPC site, download the image (because those are live links, so someone playing catch up might not be seeing what is being discussed afterwards), then upload it here to create a post? Why go through all of that extra work.”

Exactly what I said. Thank you @Mike S

@Kds86z I do agree with @Mike S in part and with @Grand Poo Bah in part. I think the overuse of Twitter posts without your own content and discussion is lazy and takes away from the discussion. I think if you are going to post a Twitter link or even an image of something that the weather community will find interesting, then describe why it is interesting for us to look at and why you or whoever thought it necessary to post the link or image. We used to actually delete posts for not posting your own thoughts. I think the moderators would need to get together and determine if they wanted to do that again, but my primary suggestion would be to tell us why you thought it was interesting or worth showing the weather-watching community.

That being said, I am going to have the last word on this post. As others have said this one was way to long.
