I reread my post and don't understand how it could be misread. Canie-I was not suggesting that she post her predictions-she has over the years posted enough predictions for evaluation. I started out trying to say that Petra's annoyance at Roger was off-base because she had mis-read what Roger was saying (I should have just left it to Roger to clarify, which he did later). I'm vaguely interested in eartones-I hear them on occassion, but have never heard them at the same time as others around me. Because there is no theory that any mainstream scientist would accept on why eartones should be related to earthquakes, it leaves the predictions as the ONLY way to evaluate whether there is something to it. Same for Shan's sun on wall and distant quakes.

Big proposal rejected for the 4th and last time-good timing that I am off to Montreal and northern Vermont for a long weekend of hockey and skiing. The old career would be headed down the tubes, if I had much of a career to start with. To those students who would go into research.....what are you, nuts? Get a good job flipping burgers. Chris
