Hi Dennis. What you say is true. However I still feel that inaccurate predictions in the long run will do more to hurt earthquake prediction then not making predictions at all.

You, or I, or someone else could find a way to make accurate predictions, but because of the many inaccurate ones made in the past a lot of people won’t believe the accurate one.

Somewhere is the midst of all this controversy a happy balance must be struck. I would hate to think that I have thrown out the baby with the bath water.

In the meantime I’m still waiting for the little one I predicted along the line between New Hampshire and Maine. I hate waiting to see how close I am, or how far out in left field I am. Take Care…Don in creepy town.
