EQF, even if I believed what you posted in response to my post on your error, and I don't, you have to apply the same criteria to your 10 quakes, and you have not. In other words, you are cheating to try and make a correlation look good. Although I chimed in that I was tired of Petra's posts attacking you, I'm also starting to get tired of your posts for the same reasons they get on the nerves of others. You seem to be willing to try some science, and may have some programming skill (I don't know), but as long as you think you are 30 years ahead of us all, and don't listen, you will get nowhere, and I might as well join John in ignoring your posts. And, I think you claim to be an engineer or scientist, but you show no discretion on what to believe-if its posted, it must be true-even if it is shadows on a wall, eartones, solar flares. I don't want to exclude that some of these things have a relation to earthquakes, but a good scientist would question this and try and look for some evidence for or against. I kind of like posting here/reading here, and if the percentage of nonsense that is posted gets too high, I either have to challenge it or find something better to do, like work. Chris
