Hi Martin,

I don't understand your response to my post below (#1958; 1971).

I have never implied you were bragging, nor have I thought you were anything but sincere in your efforts to predict earthquakes. I believe, in the short time you've been on this and the Syzygy board, that your results are impressive and worth watching.

I fear you've mistaken my interest for a challenge, which it definitely was not. Either that, or you are confusing me with someone else.

You offered to post your research, and I took you up on your offer. Your response mystifies, as it seems misdirected and condescending.

You don't need to take this tone with people on this board. Many of us are highly educated people who are working together to understand the logic of earthquake prediction. In other words, we're on YOUR side. We like having you here, and are interested in your predictions, and the methodology behind them. We don't need to be talked down to.

Please reconsider your overall defensive posture, and join us here in harmony, not opposition.

I am still very interested in your research, should you care to share it.

My best to you,

Cathryn, Ph.D., UCLA 1979

I sound like I am Braggadocio but it's just that If you were me and know you knew you'd be defensive too. Watch a lot
