Roger-I'm having to learn 2 work-related softwares, and my brain is full,(can I be excused?). So, I have not emailed you to get the address for your web site, and have not tried your program. If you are into it, it would be interesting if every time you past a ring map (for EQs > 6.5?) that you then post the same map a week later with the positions of all following EQs > M5 (for example) as listed by NEIC (you should give NEIC 2 days to get caught up: they often revise the magnitudes. After a few months of looking at these I (and others) would have a pretty good idea of whether we believed in these FFAs (I was impressed with the Ascension Island EQ after Kunlun, and Lowell was reporting many more, but it would be much easier for lazy old me to evaluate if the graphics were posted. The risk is that someone else will be impressed and it would then be relatively easy for them to publish (if they were experienced in scientific writing). Chris
