Hi EQF,

Sometimes we have to put things into the correct perspective if we are to gleem anything good out of nothing, or half of something, or perhaps something that looks like it, but isn't it, or could be it, or is it.

I had an interesting e-mail exchange with a scientist from the green machine this past week about something he said on TV. He suggested that certain place in CA was on the brink of having the quake it did and that everyone should have expected it. So I asked him if anyone had put anything in the press, or gone down there to tell these folks they were in harms way, or living on borrowed time. Of course he said they didn't. It would be hard for me to believe a person who was a family member or friend of one of the victims from this earthquake who would not have a problem with a scientist telling them after the fact that they should have expected a quake they knew nothing about.

So in light of your post above I have to say in my own personal opinion I think the material is totally worthless and unworthy of posting or even discussing for that matter. And I will ask the same of you. Did you go to Morocco and tell those folks an earthquake was coming that they should prepare for the event? Or if you did, do you think you are the correct person to provide the information in consideration of your lack of credentials or any track record that can be verified?

If I am killed in an earthquake, please do not dance on my grave.
