Hi all,
 
 As a new member of the group it's been interesting reading the  numerous 
e-mail's. 
I hear a lot about millisecond timing of events, etc. which I am not in  a 
position to do yet.
I do wonder how important it is, last evening here in England I picked up  
the South Chile earth quake ( 17:53:47 Mag 6.2 ). Since this is situated in the  
shadow zone I only receive the surface waves. We are talking of a travel time 
of  45 minutes +/- 5 minutes. I suppose if the earthquake is on your back 
door then  a few millisecond is important before it clobbers you.
