    "8.4 Mag Earthquake in Libya covered up ? "

    It's not a conclusion, it's a question.

    Sometimes it is better to actually ask the source rather than jumping to ridiculous conspiracies such as somebody covering up an 8.4 magnitude earthquake :rolleyes:
    In fairness if it was a cover up that email would have come from whoever is covering it up! :D

    I commend your ability to copy a letter that someone else received. Even though you have no way of knowing it's authenticity.

    Great work, we should all take a leaf out of your book.

    I read this thread. I emailed the source. I received this email. Simples. Do you want a screenshot? Do you want my email login details?

    I guess it's much more fun to ignore the obvious though ;)

    Here's the technical details of the email received.
    From: Gilles Mazet-Roux <mazet@emsc-csem.org>

    BTW, why does almost every one of your posts have some sort of smart-arsery going on in it? Your comments reveal a terrible attitude.

    Or maybe it's a pre-written email that is sent to everyone due to the large amount of ppl asking about this data error. :confused:

    This is smartarsey and arrogant and false. Like I said, it wasnt a conclusion, it was a question leading to a lighthearted interesting discussion. Several of us thought it was a strange situation.

    Yes, it is at times. This thread was fun.

    Smartarseyness begets Smartarseyness.

    Don't dish it out then complain when you receive it.
