Hello EDG,

While it is truly unfortunate that your data was lost I think it could easily be placed on a routine basis right here on-site as they come about; or on your own web page, if you still have it.

You mentioned the information was supplied with instructions for evaluating the predictions. This puzzles me, as most scientists have their own method of evaluating predictions and generally speaking its pretty much standard.

I would like to say sincerely, you should continue your efforts, however, broaden your field insofar as release of the predictions at least as far as placing them on this board. For a good period of time they are right here where everyone can see them and that can only be of benefit to you.

As you know some of our board participants went to a great deal of work on their own to create the prediction format to make it easier for everyone to follow. There is no reason you cannot make use of it. Its all there for you already.

Another part of history comes to mind here; which I think you may appreciate. The VAN group were highly critized for sending telegrams to each other regarding upcoming quakes. Today folks use e-mails instead. So again it comes back to posting here, if you chose to do so, you will never be questioned as to when a prediction was made.
