Thanks for the kind words, Chris. You, too, express yourself very well, and probably don't really need any editing help from me. I notice that each of my previous posts on this thread had at least one each of misspellings and errors in syntax/grammar, so . . .

And, though I know you've discussed your Palos Verdes ms here previously, I would certainly be interested in a summary of what you are doing. I think I might have mentioned previously that I attended an annual meeting of the SSA in SoCal, and took a field trip to Long Beach and Palos Verdes where we looked at the faults and listened to speakers describing the tectonics at work in those locations. Very interesting area.
