[I believe Elenin exists because people, including sydneystargazers.com have watched the comet.
I do not want to rule out that the object isnt interacting with the Sun and Earth when it is only a 'vertical', if you will allow, alignment. We know for a fact that we havent understood the universe or our solar system yet therefore the coincidences of the earthquakes in correlation to the alignment, albeit not perfect (but we dont necessarily understand all the factors in play), with Comet Elenin needs to atleast count as something of a strange event.
Am I the only person, who once thought completely rationally...but cannot say so now because this topic seems taboo now, who thinks it's wrong to disount these three alignments and the possibility of what the 4th will do...?
I'm not going to get my maths helmet on. As a general public we have paid professionals to do this job for us and when the website where these people talk and discuss posts THAT info...NO an acceptable response is NOT TO SHUT THE WEBSITE DOWN but CORRECT the miscalculation of that forum member....
I know you will try and try and try to convince people otherwise but you will see this steadfast attitude for a long time because the circumstances HAVE NOT been crystal clear with this comet.
..Maybe they announced Elenin to give people a false doom icon, which does damage on it's own accord, but the real danger is whats lurking behind it!!!
This page was created shortly after object discovery and not subsequently updated until now. Therefore the orbital parameters were preliminary, and subject to change. Those parameters did indeed change and the latest orbital elements have now been entered for this object and are current as of March 22, 2011.

No alignment. It's not causing earthquakes on earth. You are just seeing what you want to see and that is a 'doom scenario'. I know you tried to say you didn't want one, but if that was the case, you would be using your own common sense and looking at this from a completely rational point of view.

What is your reasoning that there are no alignments?
Here are 3 dots, let me know if you believe them to be aligned:

Also, on March 11th, if you flatten the image and look at it in the top down 2d perspective, it does align.. not perfectly, but it does align.. What you did was distort the image so it does NOT align..
Also, did you ever consider that the JPL data isn't perfect and that used as a rough tool shows us that when we have alignment we have a quake? They state themselves its not meant to be taken as a perfect guide..

You know what, you're right.. the (non)alignments and the ~9.0 quakes are purely coincidental.. I hope for your sake you aren't near a fault zone... Someone as oblivious as yourself surely won't be prepared for anything.
