Hi Doc and Dennis -

I just want to intrude here a bit... I really like Dennis's predictions - I admit, I'm a bit selfish as his predictions have a direct affect on where I live.

I'm having a bit of trouble understanding Antonio's but as he is predicting for an area that really doesn't personally affect me, that's ok.

I agree that its good to have some healthy criticism occasionally but Doc is just a bit too heavy handed these days. I think he's just trying to say that some of Antonio's predictions are much like predicting a 3.0 for a week in southern cal - it happens all the time. OK - but maybe Antonio is onto something - and there haven't been any larger quakes in the area of his predictions, so so far Antonio is right...

I don't think we really need a lot of arguing and baiting going on here - I do like to have predictions rated - but lets get the emotions out of the ratings shall we?

I have been away on a vacation for a while and had a great time! I remember when I left Dennis was getting signals for some activity here and sure enough - I return home and find 3 4+'s have occured plus numerous 3's. Good Job Dennis !

I also think I issued a warning for some activity myself so I'll give myself a bit of a pat on the back as well.

As far as I'm concerned, its working - I don't think we'll ever know an exact date/time/magnitude of a coming event - but if we can get close as we appear to be doing and know to expect something - kinda like Pat said: a Weather report - it will create an atmosphere of caution and preparedness for such an event. I know evacuating Southern California is just not a possible scenario! But maybe we can keep the people prepared and calm when it happens.

Keep up the good work out there all of you and lets be more on the contributing side than the non-contributing side of things.
