Thank you for those comments 2-cents. They are certainly worthy of considerable
discussion and consideration on this board. Unfortunately I will not be able to
participate in that discussion for the next several week.
I have always enjoyed your comments, you are very thoughtful and your scientific
training shows very strongly (although I do not know your background, it is clear
there is a great deal of knowledge and training there).
I know that this board will continue to make strides in a forward direction towards
the goal of earthquake prediction/forecasting because people like you are posting
and thinking about the topics raised on this board.
