Totally agree with Pat, will also do the same as her. When Shakespeare talked about " the world is a stage " he was not giving scientific answers. I have worked in seismology in Academic institutions for 24 years and Dennis is trying to tell me that the PDE catalog should be used to evaluate predictions that concern this region and goes on further to say that the reason is that the PDE catalog has a higher magnitude of completeness. It would make sense to fan undergraduate that if the magnitude of completeness is higher in one of two catalogs THEN that means that catalog is INSUFFICIENT IN REPORTING EVENTS SMALLER than it's magnitude of completeness and for the Greek area there exist a series of publications showing that NOA's catalog 1964-2000 has a magnitude of completeness down to M (local)=2.9 which beats PDE anyday ! Just ask any seismologist ! But the problem is that Dennis tried to trick us by trying to compare catalogs with different magnitudes M local (NOA) and Mw or Ms (PDE). A fairer test would be to convert to similar magnitudes when conducting such tests. Nevertheless Greece has a magnitude M local=4 every couple of days so when i hear a M=4 for Greeece in June, as Posted by Dennis's "friend" Antonio Romino, i had to post a SCIENTIFIC point.
Buy ya all.See ya Pat.
