Hello Roger,

I'm taking exception to your statement. For ten years or more, Kathy has more or less allowed herself to be the guinea pig of earthquake forecasting to try to be helpful. Before Jim had his site up she used to call him or write him. Now his site has its archives. They have been there for years, so if anyone cares to take the time to research it, its there for anyone.

The question is: Who Wants To Know? I did and I spent a lot of time digging through the archives and asked Jim for some information and then called Kathy directly and asked her everything I thought I should know. But the one thing I wanted to know most of all was the character of this person. She has an unblemished one and for that I think she deserves to be accounted for and researched. She doesn't have to do this, she does it because she wants to.

I have an idea and you can tell me if you feel its a good one. Why don't I ask Andy Michael if he will take a look? He knows Jim already, so that's not a problem. I can ask him what he needs and see if he wants any input from elsewhere and lets let him run the numbers. Maybe you'd like to work on it together?

Let me know and I'll give him a whistle....Petra
