hi gang

I notice=A0 a lot of guys post their files relatively quickly after the eve=
nt and often the
magnitudes are in the mean time revised by the USGS... usually downwards.
As a result I have made it a bit of a habit for some time now to hold off p=
osting too
quickly and give the reported magnitude time to settle, usually within the =
first hour
or two.
=A0 Well tonite I got "zapped" by the USGS, I waited ~ 3 hours before posti=
ng the
New Guinea event, only to have the USGS revise the magnitude about the time
I hit the send button .... sometimes ya just cant win !!! haha
so frustrating=A0 huh!! ??

the revised mag is Mw 6.8, rather than the original Mw 7.0 in my file

cheers
Dave
