I don’t know who the person you referred to who is posting notes to the Newsgroups might be. I usually try to contact anyone who claims in public that he or she can forecast earthquakes to see if they would like to compare notes. But I have not had time to do that so far in this case. And it has been my experience that this usually turns out to be a waste of time anyway. With the exception of Shan who posts notes to this bulletin board, few earthquake forecasters appear to be willing to share their data.

Shan posts forecasts to the following Web page:

Also, a 2.8 magnitude quake would probably be at the very lowest edges of my own forecast range even under ideal conditions.
