way way back in the beginning I stated exactly what would happen and I was right, because I am always right.

Refresh my memory...

Let me take a guess, nothing? If so you were right, at least so far. That's a good thing!

Yes...Everyone wanted to ignore the geologic history and fantasize. I was using a blue name back then.

I looked and I don't remember your reporting like that in the beginning. Maybe it was another thread that also got a lot of pages.

So many were worried so I decided to hold the torch and keep track of things. I do find the geology and earthquake patterns and such quite interesting.

Most of the time I'm talking to myself, but that's alright.

Do you follow Nick Zentner talks? People usually do when I bring his name up. If you don't, check him out. You will like.

I have not heard of him. Thanks, I'll look him up.
