EQF

"At the moment discussions that I am having with some people are looking at possible links between earthquake occurrence times and sun and moon position related Earth wobble."

"some people" - who? Scientists do not work incognito.

"possible links" - what is the significance of the correlations? Because you're examining a large number of possible connections, you shouldn't believe links unless the correlation quite high, at least 99%. If you can't rule out that the correlations are only random, most likely they are.
