Hi Chris,

I don't know about you guys, but on average I receive 300 spam messages a week. Every week I go through the holding file, clear messages from people I wish to receive and delete the balance. Of course, a back door exists on the net and those who wish to find it, do so.

I have been advised that I am not qualified to participate in Tom Jordan's program but someone whom I hold in high esteem, John V. He's right of course. I'm not. I saw the potential for this program as being something a little more broad in that people who don't have every piece of their puzzle might join forces and collaborate so that they might achieve a common goal, ie: to make it possible to issue quality earthquake predictions. Again, I guess I'm wrong about the broad part. You see, over time I've been able to confirm that some of what we hear is also detected by ULF, so it seemed a natural that I might fit into the program as it is ULF centered.

But I was also wrong to ask people in seismology to try and give me a little insight as to what area to look in to get the missing link to ear tone theory. It is not a seismology type of thing, but more to do with people who know about radio waves, radio astronomy or perhaps space sciences. Therefore, I have to start looking down new avenues and keep the journey of discovery alive. Sometimes in life it is not the ending which is important, but the path and those whom you meet along the way, which makes it well worth traveling.

The ear tone group of researchers has now reached six including myself and greater distances lie between us. In a short period of time I can see results which please me greatly, because whether they've known it for a long time or are new, the results are the same. They're all good. What a great group they are. I'm so impressed. One day, I'll hand over the keys to someone who knows more than I do and then they'll be more impressed than I am today.

On my wall my inspirational calendar gave me this thought for the month of February:

RISK: Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.
