Viddaloo, I have been reading this forum for about two years without posting (just learning), and I feel obligated to share my opinion. I very much appreciate a few of the things you have brought to the table. Mostly, I enjoy seeing the annual average ice extent and volume, including pointing out the daily deltas. That is a fairly original idea that I had not seen elsewhere. However, I think those graphs can do without the curve-fit extrapolations. Seeing how short-term extrapolations change on a daily basis doesn't really tell me anything useful. Also, zooming in so far actually eliminates what I do want to see, which is what the annual average was doing in other years.
As some others have said, I also find your graphs confusing at first, but not too difficult to figure out. I think part of the issue is that you have a habit of using the title as a place to state your conclusion, rather than simply what data is shown. I think if you moved your conclusions into a paragraph of text below the graph and labeled your axes with units, your graphs would instantly become more clear.
I don't want to seem like I'm piling on here in my first post, but I have just one more piece of advice. It seems to me that you like to show a graph that tracks one obscure metric on a daily basis. Recently it has been daily extent change compared to 2011. While I'm sure you find that metric very interesting, it might not be to most others (it isn't to me at least). I don't mind seeing that metric, just not with a new graph almost every day. Maybe once per week would be better? Any more than that does start to take away other insights you have.
In summary, I really enjoy everyone's contributions to this forum. I think it provides the most lively and stimulating climate discussion on the internet. You add to that without a doubt, Viddaloo, and I thank you for that. I just wanted to give some advice from a lurker's perspective since it seems you are having some difficulty "fitting in" with the viewpoints and posting styles of others. You are not alone in this regard (Friv and Michael Hauber have certainly been criticized as well). Please don't be discouraged, but do listen to what others are saying. Thanks!
