Almost every comment I've read by Roger in some way slams Jim Berkland. Even if he never predicted an earthquake he's done a lot to facilitate earthquake research, and provided the means for a lot of people to have a lot of fun and learn things and also to become more prepared. I will always think youre not cool for slamming him all the time whatever your personal gripe with the man. Get your own life and leave Jim alone. You are either jealous, a busybody or Job's sleeping with your wife I'd bet. Just tired of your incessant pokes at the man. I like Jim and he has a good heart which you are trying to make heavier. Why don't you predict a quake, show us hiw it's done or shut the hell up about Jim?... Martin@n.i.c.e.
