I think that it is important that we now and then say a word of thanks to others to let them know that we feel that they are doing a good job. And it is probably about that time again.

As I have said in the past, you might presently be one of the most important people around world with regard to the development of the science of earthquake forecasting. This is because you are providing the international community with an invaluable communications resource: this bulletin board which is largely protected from the note posting wars which are common in the Newsgroups.

So, on behalf of many of this board's note posters and visitors, thanks again Canie.
