Well good. I hope your friend in Berkeley understands that an earthquake cannot be a foreshock until there is a main shock. That is all I am saying and yet you still do not see it, but consider it necessary to attempt to belittle me because of your own lack of understanding.
Anyone who understands earthquake will not state categorically that an earthquake is a foreshock because it is not possible to do so until after another larger event. Maybe I need to repeat that several times for you, since you think I need things repeated, until it sinks in. Or maybe it just won't because you have closed your mind to anything other than what you consider was said, rather than what was said.

Why are you thinking I was stating anyone here was scared?

The question, is this scaremongering, is valid. Because there are only two possiblities. Either, middlebrook is a whistle blower within inside information about a major disaster. Or, they are an imposter who has manufactured this story in order to deceive. Sorry, but there's no middle ground.
If middlebrook is decieving us, then they are most assurdly trying to create fear. And attention. Forgetting the motive.

Well seeing as you called me back into posting I guess what ever transpired was at your request.
But if you are happy throwing insults at me I really don't mind. Please carry on if it makes you feel bigger and better.
My position is still that there will be no big event in SC within 45 days and that an earthquake is not a foreshock until after a main shock. Guess we will just have to wait and see who is right.

In my opinion, Puterman is not disputing the possible role of increases in earthquake activity, swarms or ETS as valid quake prediction elements. What I interpet him to be saying, is that no one; professional seismologist, geology student or avid quake watcher, can see a given earthquake show up on USGS or GEE, and immediately label it a "foreshock". One cannot know a quake is definitively a foreshock, until a larger quake in the same fault/rupture zone occurs. That's all.
Silverlok, I find your posts rude and full of spelling and gramatical errors.
