"Perhaps Spirit and Opportunity won't see the thin, cirrus clouds seen over Meridiani"

Was meant to respond to this statement:

"Although water vapor is expected to reach a maximum abundance for the Opportunity and
Spirit sites near spring equinox (Ls 180 or about March 2005), the
atmospheric temperatures will very likely have warmed sufficiently to
prevent formation of the type of clouds that Opportunity has observed
recently."

The implication is that clouds of ANY kind won't be seen during this warm period over the landing sites. I was suggesting that not only will clouds be seen, but in fact they will be thicker than the clouds seen so far over Meridiani. The evidence that this will be the case is overwhelming, for that was what was seen by Hubble during the late Spring season over Meridiani and low southern latitudes in 2003.
More later.

Note: the reason why I don't engage in flame wars is that they always deteriorate into who can present the best insult rather than the best scientific argument.
