Chris, I am not going to get into an argument with you regarding sun and moon force related earthquake triggering. The subject matter is too complex and nothing will be gained. If you do not agree that the data I presented on high magnitude earthquakes is significant then that is your choice. It is my opinion that they are significant.

This is also not especially important. My data and theories etc. are being examined in other parts of the world where earthquake forecasting work is being done.

If you wish to discuss something then I recommend that you continue to take an interest in possible geomagnetic energy field – earthquake triggering links. At the moment I am proposing that people watch for solar electron storms to see if there might be a link between them and other observables such as earthquakes and Ear Tones etc.

A good general rule is: Make progress where you can and put the other topics on the shelf until they can be worked on. The geomagnetic work looks like it should be something which can be discussed here without too much trouble and with some possible solid gains.
