And these are my personal opinions:

Kate and others are right. If you are going to proclaim yourself the premier forecaster of earthquakes, let's see some proof.

Furthermore, I, for one, am tired or your grandiosity. Until reading this thread, I was inclined not to take sides in "The Great EQF Debate." Your pretentiousness and portentousness has made that impossible.

I, too, ask that you stop tooting your own horn and post an EQ prediction on this site *before* it occurs. It doesn't even matter if your forecast pans out. I would just like to see you put your reputation where your mouth is. That shouldn't be hard given the arcane yet "accessible" methodology you use.

EQF, please forgive me for the harshness of this comment, but you are making a fool of yourself here. Either show us the proof, or show a little humility. Foreign governments are not hanging on your every word, nor are they out to inter or assassinate you for your earthquake predictions. That is absurd. Your self aggrandizement is terribly off putting.

I am nothing but a lay person in this scientific field, but having read your numerous pontifications over the years, I have to agree with others here that it is truly time for you to cough up the goodies. Either put up or shut up.

Make a prediction on THIS board or else stop proclaiming yourself the "King of the World" where earthquake forecasting is concerned. It is indeed becoming a little much.

Respectfully,

Cathryn
