So nobody but me has complimented you on your article? Me, who had to ask what z-binomial statistics were in order to fully understand your analysis? Roger, you need some serious encouragement. I thought you (and your program) did a splendid job of evaluating an earthquake prediction method. A scientific job. An unbiased job. And your article was as well-written as they come, and that compliment comes from an award-winning writer. So pat yourself on the back, my friend, for a job well done on Job. (Forgive that awful pun; I just couldn't resist.) I'm sure there was nothing personal in it. The chips lay as they lay. If others have a problem with that, they can run your program to verify your conclusion from the data.

It was a damn good article, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
