John, I already said that there are figures and tables in Lowell's thesis that show this. Get the thesis!!!!I would be really interested to have some unbiased but expert person go over this. My confidence was shaken when I saw a statistical correlation for something else that I just did not believe, but I just don't have time now to go back over this-I'm trying to focus on programming to bring the standard .fps format of earthquakes into GOCAD the way I like them (cute little polygons for nodal planes with little arrows for slip....

Again, in 1990 I imagine you would be one of the seismologists who would have said nonsense to distant P and S wave triggering, which was in Lowell's comps at Colorado, which he sent me in 1990.

By the way, I've been posting here for 2 years asking people not to blanket accept certain things-to test and question. This discussion with Roger's recent post is getting interesting-hope it goes somewhere-
