Brian, I had been meaning to say about the same thing but you said it better. What bugs me is that EQF especially has certain skills and has been putting in a lot of time, but that from what I know about what he is doing, the physics/logic is not there. So, it seems like wasted effort. One would hope that there was something overlooked by the seismologists that a skilled amateur might be able to do something with...although I am not really sure what....
