best line yet:

Your competitors aren't embracing this idea. Joel N. Myers, Founder and President, AccuWeather, Inc, told me, "In unilaterally deciding to name winter storms, The Weather Channel has confused media spin with science and public safety. We have explored this issue for 20 years and have found that this is not good science and will mislead the public. Winter storms are very different from hurricanes." Do you expect other news organizations to follow your naming convention?
