John must know this, but to some reading the page-that is a different Chris with all those publications. To both EQF and Roger-let's make this simple-is there a correlation between the astro factor or is there not? (Roger, I can't tell from yhour wording whether you think there is a correlation). I don't see one. I don't need to be an expert at anything except pattern recognition, and indirectly, I am an expert in pattern recognition. Again, because EQF seems to usually miss the point, we have one curve and another series of events (which could be reproduced as a curve). Demonstrate the correlation. Or tell me what you see in this. Its simple-just answer the darn (censor would not let me use intended word) question! Is it peaks to events, troughs to events, or gradients to events?
Chris-the one who publishes on faults and folds....and maybe eventually on climate.

By the way, I wanted to mention that we are polite compared to what I saw, following one of John's to Berkland's SGY.... page....JOB, Roger, John, and someone else arguing away...I almost never go to that page-maybe 3 times total...
