Roger, Don,

IF EQF predicted a M5 in the right area for the right day, or, within 50 km radius and a few days, and for a >M4.5....then, it is a pretty good prediction-there have only been a few M>4.5 in the last year. But, I don't have time or interest to figure out what EQF predicted-so have no idea if there is any validity to this. If someone got an email from EQF in advance of the earthquake, he gave an OK for you to post it. But, as people here have been saying for a year, if specific predictions are not posted on this page, and some number of them, we can not tell if there is anything to what you are doing. But, at the same time, even when Don was posting regularly, it was still difficult to tell casually if there was anything to these predictions-unless one just agreed with Lowell's evaluations (excepting the couple larger magnitude predictions, which did seem interesting). I've been watching this page for almost 2 years now---or is it 3?, and have not found any predictions here by others to be convincing-that is not the same as saying there is not somthing to what people are posting-just that it is hard to evaluate with spending a whole lot of time.........Chris
