John,

Appreciate the response, as always. I brought that up with Mike Williams while discussing Frank Condons' work. That is, the lack of large earthquakes to study down here. My guess is that rapid, episodic creep rates don't help much either, as least in the short term? I really thought that the creep acelleration on the Superstitian in October was a dead give away. Might be. But it did not help me on my 6 month forecast for El Centro. I think I can get location, but my timing is helter skelter. Back to square one. My forecast was not helpful at all.
