Mike,

You're rather riding the judgment horse these days. Roger Hunter has the maps for the quakes we've publically predicted so if we had made a public statement he would know. But things that go up on my web site aren't discussed here, nor should they be. If you or Russell had been looking at my web page you would have had the answer anyway, right? They were up there for 30 days which is more than ample time to have a look see.

It is accepted policy that no one here speaks of postdictions. Most times we are rather cordial and polite and follow Roberts Rules of Conduct, though not always. There's only one person who posted here on a regular basis that did that sort of thing and despite our dislike for it he did it anyway and we learned to just live in acceptance. In the big picture does it really matter? Not really.

I'm waiting for the day when I issue a prediction for a lolla polusa and get it and come over here to find that some will say it was a miss when it was a direct hit. I've seen it before and I'll see it again. And when the evaluations are done I'll bet someone will say the numbers are jumbled or something along those lines because no one will want to believe it if I'm better than chance, but would be joyous if it were otherwise. I just want to see what the numbers say and I'll keep going no matter what happens. Not good means = needs more work, not let's quit.

Imagine this is a round table discussion place and everyone who comes here brings something to the table. #?@8/4*().
