Hmmm...

JT wasn't very specific , so I'm not sure if he doesn't subscribe to my
interpretation of wind chill, or if he doesn't believe in the concept of
evaporative cooling.

JT's statement made me question myself and look up wind chill. It seems
there may be multiple definitions for wind chill. One is not related
to an actual surface temperature, but a sensory perception of heat loss
that would apply only to living objects. The other is measuring
temperature loss resulting from moisture evaporating off of an object.
My guess is there's even a third definition which combines the two.

I've always though of wind chill as being the product of evaporative
cooling, but apparently that definition may be too narrow.

Don't know why I'm in Netsocks file, but I guess it really doesn't
matter. To the best of my recollection, I have rarely, if ever posted
off topic to any group, with the only ****ing contests I've gotten into
being started by others, who seem more hell bent on being right than
seeking any sort of truth.

As for my initial posting on this thread, I had overlooked Netsock's
clarification which followed the statement I made comment upon. When I
re-read his post I had discovered my error, and had canceled the
article, but apparently my news server does not support that feature.

My apologies.

I'd love to see any documents that prove this!


Bob must have contributed to OT post in the past, as he is in my kill file,
thus, I didnt see his post.

But if he would have quoted my entire reply, it would have shown I already
stated what he is now repeating.

No harm...take care.
