Hi again, Petra. I guess it just SEEMED a lot longer than 15 minutes . . . And then, of course, I had also to listen to the host's lengthy introduction, first, too. I'll try to re-visit it and hear you out.

I'd probably enjoy AGU meetings immensely. I find real science to be fascinating. As a 14-year member of the Seismological Society of America (as a non-professional, I hasten to add), I've attended quite a few of their Annual Meetings, and sat through many presentations quite spell-bound.

As to your reference to 7 years and SGE, you must be referring to a several week-old post of mine. My memory, unlike yours, is less than perfect. I think I only mentioned that I've been reading SGE for at least 7 years, and this forum for the last two or three, and that I was well-acquainted with your theories. And suggested that you've become quite the earthquake diva. The only offense I have taken over that time is to your abysmal understanding of how science works, your lack of critical thinking, and your tendency to state as proven fact some highly controversial conclusions. I'm sure there's no need to apologize, but thanks for asking.
