Hi EQF,

So as I take it, I am allowed to use your words from anyplace other than here as this site is copyrighted and put them in any other public place I wish, without your permission and without identifying you as the author. Is that correct?

I have a piece I'm working on about earthquake forescasting methods for my web site and if I wish to borrow what you have to say, without giving you any credit, let us have it said here and now in this public place your opinion so I can document it before the fact.

Of course, there is only one little problem. I am a person, however, you are not a recognizable person. Anyone can claim to be you because you don't have a name. I could be you, though I have no desire to be you, but just for the sake of presenting a thought form, any of us could be you. Thus if I quote you, I am not really quoting you, because you aren't a "you" in the sense of a person being a recognised entity. Right?

So, oh learned one, let us have the benefit of your legal ease......Petra

I did cruise sci-geo-earthquakes, but some things were said over there, which cannot be said over here. So for the sake of this viewing audience, if they wish to follow the conversation over there, the link for over there is down below.
