quick skeptical comment

Most of your post is a nice statement, but this quibble just applies to this comment:

"[This week] I was able to demonstrate that Lowell Whiteside's Theory on Far Field Aftershocks does work despite the study that was performed saying it didn't."

Can you post the demonstration? To anticipate, the only way scientists (or other sensible people) would agree with you is if you showed earthquakes tend to follow the pattern, and we have lots of earthquakes in the global and regional catalogs to check with.

Last week had a couple of earthquakes, but the preceding decades had thousands of large earthquakes. To perhaps anticipate too much, if you're going to claim that 3 or 4 earthquakes prove a general pattern that didn't appear in the thousands already on record, you're undermining your credibility with such an unlikely claim.
