I can admit to a mistake. It was not you who wrote that part. I will consider contacting David Brown about his error.

"talk behind my back"

How is my post "talking behind [your] back"? It wasn't hidden. It was no secret. You managed to find it just fine, albeit with an understandable delay due to your recent book tour.

And in response to points from your other two posts.....

"Perhaps you can begin to attack him, too"

So you think I am attacking you? That's what you are implying. I am attacking your position and your views. If I wanted to attack you personally and publicly, I could do so quite easily and quite viciously. But I prefer not to. Besides, it would be inappropriate on this particular forum. If you'd like, I'd be glad to post one somewhere appropriate, perhaps Mr. Bopp's LIAHO forum? Just let me know.

"Or maybe you just need to write your own book."

Again, writing books....why are you so stuck on that issue? It's meaningless to me (and probably most others) as I could care less how many books a person has written. Quality over quantity. One well written and well founded book is worth more than 100 poorly written books based on half truths and illogic.

"I doubt seriously you have the ability to write a book and get it published by a traditional publisher."

Yet again, the publishing of books issue. Cal, let me give you some friendly advice, your continued emphasis on this point makes you look like a fool. The number of books a person publishes is irrelevant to their ability to argue a point and support them with facts.

If a person were to post a message saying that 42 times 98 equals 4158, yet I see that they made an error, the correct answer being 4116, and to point out that how they made the error was to multiply by 99 instead of 98, are you saying I am not permitted to point out this error and correction because I have never published a book on math? This logical falacy is known as the non-sequitur, literally meaning, "it does not follow".

"If you did understand the entire process maybe you would lighten up and show some appreciation for my efforts."

As it happens, I do have some experience in publishing - both writing and editing, as well as graphics. Distribution of some of my material was in the ten's of thousands. But then, how is this relevant to anything re your viewpoints and position re earthquake prediction?

Ignoratio elenchi.
