Exactly.

The phrase is borrowed from another forum.

LOL @ the title, it's kindof an ironic play on words doncha think?

Everyone knows you can't "contain" an earthquake.

That should have been written in the original post which was simply:

Plus - it being a sticky - it possibly has the effect of striking fear into those who may want to move to move here and wouldn't necessarily be a positive addition.

Those who aren't afraid of the occasional earth tremor are more likely to assimilate to L.A. culture, be happier, and more pleasant to be around, thereby adding quality to our community.

^Well, of course that was the intent.

90% of the people who move to LA from elsewhere have this fear that the next earthquake is going to cause LA to fall off into the ocean. [/tongue in cheek]

Similar fear to what LA'inos have regarding winter and tornadoes, you know, both of which mean impending death. [/wait, tongue still in cheek]

This thread is for quake discussion. Good or bad. Past, present, or future.

If I see another "OMG, did you just feel that 3.6?" thread, it will be merged into here.
