[Geysers] More About Nonsense

[Smokey]

    Greetings,

    I think that we are seeing history repeat itself once again with 
regards to Norris.  If you look back on some of Bob Fourniers work in 
the '60s and other historical documents, you will find that Echinus 
Geyser has acted like this before.  There were many years when Echinus 
did not erupt at all.  Bob has pictures of the full, overflowing very 
red crater and speaks about not seeing any activity from it at all.
    Just like the hot period during the "disturbance" activity around 
Porkchop in 2003.  It has happened before!  It will most likely happen 
again.  Norris Geyser Basin is the most dynamic and changing basin in 
the Park.  It isn't stagnant and predictable.  When things "change" 
there, it isn't necessarily "new" activity.
    So, before we all go diving off into the case of "OH MY!  Something 
incredible and new is happening at Norris" platform.... go back and read 
some of the history of Norris and see what has gone on in the past.
    Thanks for letting me step up on the soapbox.

       Take Care,

          Smokey
