For Ocean tides full and new moon tides are both low and high. It is just that the magnitude (range) of the tides is larger. I would think it would be the same for earth tides.

Once again, you're right. Thank goodness you read these posts!

Yes, I was ignoring the diurnal cycle since Nabhan was claiming effects from new and full moons. I added the quarter moons and found no correlation with them either and once again the difference is highly significant negatively.

This only applies to mag 5 quakes. Mag 6+ are pure chance and I can't account for the difference.
