Malaysia - tremors

We were in Malaysia during Easter 2005 when the second earthquake hit Indonesia - it's weird how unfair is this planet.
On a lighter, sarky note I'd like to say "thanks for the warning fellow scientists"! Seismology really smells and I can't see the point of it. The lack of ability to prevent loss of life is further good reason to reclassify the subject of seismology alongside astrology or as far as you can get from anything called reliable.

Footnote:
Actually we did get several SMS warnings from friends in the UK. I partuclarly liked the one that said "Did you feel any tremours?" particularly because it arrived in a batch of three messages - the phone was on the bedside side table and everything within a few inches of it shook.
