Mike,

Credit should be given where credit is due. If he's doing better than I am, then let's say so. But he's not doing the same type of predictions I am and not for California earthquakes of smaller magnitudes. So his success in a global sense is his specialty and I am working on the west coast in my own way. So we are compadres in the nicest way possible.

I would never be to shy to give someone praise for a job well done and for him I hold him in very high regard as a person and secondly I give him the credit he rightfully earned.

Actually, we haven't done the evaluations yet so I don't know if my hit ratio for my areas are as good or worse than his. We have to see yet.
