This paper should , of course , be published and be urgently disseminated among the geoscientists, who are at least many years , perhaps one decade behind the drmubeats of information technology. However, I fear that if it is published in a place where geoscientists will read this. this will be lost. I urge that this paper be broadcasted at the widest bandwidth possible according to Giler's law so that at least 50 to 100 geoscientists would read this. The figures should be enlarged a bit more for clarity. I congratulate this team led by Geoffrey Fox for doing such a fine job in this endeavor. Again I cannot overemphasize my concerns that this paper may get lost , if not given sufficient enough bandwidth in the disseminating this widely. They should also cater to the geological audience, because they far outnumber the seismologists, by a factor of 10 to 1 and these folks are even further behind by another 5 years. Dave Yuen-signed .
