If the only responders only come back with 2012 ridicule, then I will slap this forum up side the face as being unscientific, unresponsive and illogical.
What I asked was a scientific question and I expect only answers following that discipline.

The question of where the sun is in relation to the galactic mid-plane was discussed thoroughly in that long list of threads posted by 1and0s above. And, before you go slapping the forum upside the head, you might read a sampling of the threads here, and note it is as far from unscientific, unresponsive, and illogical as you can get. The 2012 stuff has been discussed here at some length, and after about the 20th thread started asking about it, it can get a bit tiresome.
And again, that's why I suggest we need a sticky FAQ thread up somewhere about this stuff.
And as far as asking Grant to present his credentials, well, the credentials of just about all the regular posters here far exceed that of most of the sources of this 2012 stuff, which is about zero.
