Dennis - I am sorry but I just don't understand your attitude. I am missing something here in understanding why you are so upset about this. Is it that you think you are being made wrong? There has been lots of discussion about how to 'grade' the predictions - You have made loud complaints about every suggestion but I don't recall seeing any suggestions that you could live with. You have been objecting very loud - tell us what you want.

Maybe you are giving this whole chart thing more importance that it should have. It is obviously hitting some sore spot for you.

I like the chart for one reason - Martin is making lots and lots of predictions and then proudly strutting when 1 or 2 of them actually occur. Having it in black and white - the long list of predictions and results - points something out. I've been trying all along to point this out but the chart says it much better than I could. Lots of scientists have looked at foreshocks to try to predict earthquakes and they are just not accurate enough. They still don't know what differentiates a foreshock from a mainshock.

You have technology that you feel you cannot disclose to anyone and it would be tragic if you did not continue to post your observations and predictions. If you don't want to be included in the chart then don't fill out the form - just keep posting as you have been doing. Believe me, people WILL be paying attention.
