I urge you to use caution, criticisms without solid facts are like predictions without solid facts. There's a bit more going on than chance I'd venture. Why don't you ask Kathy (or Jim)for some notable hits in example. Anyone checked out MY record? How bout a few dozen at least over six in unusual locations, 4EQ in a row over six this month alone at Honshu6.4, Aleutians west6.3, Kodiak6.5, P.N.G.6.4...and MANY others and some over 7...Ive never in all my research seen that kind of forecast record. Just look em up on the search gizmo, Martin @ n.i.c.e. WE know your faults, Martin at the natural interpretive center for earthquakes...take care...mb
