Like Chris said, its ultimately up to Canie, but I too feel such postings should be allowed here. Its educational and fun to read. I feel that the people who contribute to this board are die hard seismic watchers anyway-and that given posts on the topics you mentioned would never detract from that. Indeed there are lulls on this board, esp between earthquakes! LOL! So I don't think there would be any harm in such topics showing up. But just my opinion!
