I spent quite a bit of time arguing with similar kooks and nitwits to the writer of the article about the Long Valley Caldera on USENET in the late 1990s....they were convinced the "government was covering up" the fact that Long Valley was about to explode, etc. etc.

It obviously hasn't. And seismicity and ground deformation at Long Valley has really slacked off.

Did this group have a similar discussion a while back and determin it had something to do with Barbi Benton?

"...they were convinced the "government was covering up" the fact that Long Valley was about to explode, etc. etc."

If somehow the government did have some warning signs of something like this happening,what do you think the government would do?

How many places in Long Valley very near the surface that are not in someones oven 200 degrees plus? And how many other places on the face of the earth that are not associated with erupting volcanoes or ones that are about to erupt are there temperatures like that?

None.

That is a danger sign which is indicative of a local magma intrusive event.

I went to the source on Yellowstone. Here is an interview I conducted with the USGS Scientists who work on the Yellowstone project:
