Don...what you posted is different than what I am talking about. What you are talking about is where the strain is actually building up much faster than the long-term rate (although I have heard that that study is controversial, may not be correct, although I forget why). What I am talking about is where the faults are cruising along building up strain at the same rate, but so little work has been done in the far offshore that the "community" was mostly simply unaware of these faults. And, our reviewers and NSF panel members decided that we should remain unaware of 10% of the plate motion for a while longer...or, the reviewers on our first try gave 3 excellents, a very good, and an enthusiastic "good" (thought study was interesting and important, but did not understand it...wanted more details). The panel begged to differ. On each succeeding resubmission our reviews got worse until we gave up....
