Sometimes it the simpliest things that make the bells and whistles go off. At first, I thought it might be a cultural thing, a language barrier, when I read this message posted here, but it was enough to make me look further. (see below)

I am a Rear Admiral by designation of the City of Petaluma as an honoraria, so I can say that I am such. I have it on a city stationary with a golden seal and its recorded in the city documents. I can reproduce it by photocopy. Any institution you attend has a record of attendance and the outcome of the study. It has a name, an address and a transcript. However, stating one has attended is not verification that one did.

As I told you previously, when I became involved with my last earthquake prediction project on a scientific basis, I presented my counterpart with a list of references of people I know. Some of them went back 27 years. They included a legislative aid, a congresswoman and some others of interest. I told this person to call anyone and I did not call them in advance. I don't know if this person ever called any of them, but the person was satisfied. I also presented the person with a copy of my CA Insurance license, something showing my years of service on the Petaluma River Festival and a photograph of me. We exchanged phone numbers and we spoke a number of times. Yet, when I asked you for your phone number and wanted to speak to you at my expense, you did not provide it. Now lets look at this post of yours.

Hello Pat
I beg your pardon for the later but I have many things to do. A my day should have been double for doing everything I must do. If you had been a little telepathic, you'll feel I spend much time to thinking about you and your activity.

I have finally find the catalogue NEIC and now I'm trying to find the connections so I'll be early more efficient in the board. In this period I am trying to build a web-page. I hope I'll be able to do it. My son Renato Jr. ( 17 years ) help me in that. I read with attention your e-mail. You explain in a wonderful way a wanderful fact. I understand you, I had similar experience in 1985, a nowday, I have still "something" I can see everytime I wish it. I could never paint such Greatness, but, I can paint your emotion for the reason that I'm used to paint emotions, today I name my art "emotional-art". With your words you have a good picture painted. I have four doughters and three boys(27d,21b,19b,17b,13d,10d,8d) and a little or nothing of more. For many years I have a little baby on knee always had. I like very much to discuss with you Pat, I am discovering we have so much things in common.
Ciao, Antonio

Here it says you have four daughters and three sons. Yet in your message previously you said you had "seven sons."

No one pays me to be smart, to keep asking questions until I am 100% sure of what I think I see is real. It is a gift from God, one I have learned to treasure in this lifetime. Often when I pray at night, these words go to God from me: "show me the light, the truth and the way." He has answered.

You are not barred from posting your predictions here. You have a method and if it is good, it will stand on its own. It doesn't need support from anyone, especially me, a non scientist.
