Roger, put on some coffee and when its done, wake up and smell it. EVERYONE here knows that there are ~ 130 6's a year. and one 8. There are ~ 17 7's a year. 365 divide by 17 gives you about a snowballs chance in hell of nailing where they are going to occur, and those figures are also jaded by the fact that near half the 7's and 20 of the 6's will be aftershocks to the yearly 8 and in one small area.
Don't waste our time with the manipulation of already known facts. Teach us something we don't know like how to make a prediction we can have scored. I haven't seen you do anything but try to tear peoples work apart. GIVE OR TAKE A FEW POINTS you say but yesterday you said you you won't give or take a tenth of a point or a day or anything. The way you talk I think you don't have anthing much I'm interested in. Including incoherent attempts at butchering Jim's work, which seemed to please you in some way....mb
