EQF,

You see, you are backing away again at a statement you made. You've done it before, so it not unusual in the least. If you are happy with the ear tone research you have done, then that can only mean one thing, that you believe you have discovered something that works, at least part of the time.

You never ever post any kind of predictions here, be it with ear tones or tidal data, or any kind of method, so that's rather an erroneous statement.

I am trying to be polite with you and I hope you realize that. But at the same time I am trying to ferret out truth from speculation. If in fact you have a working method, then you have to demonstrate that it does indeed have some merits which would make one believe it does work. But you are holding back. This I find highly suspicious.

I will say that I do believe that you posses intelligence. You are articulate. You have a lot of potential, however, you are throwing away every chance you have because of unsubstatiated claims. Is this really what you want to do with your life? I would absolutely admire you if you would just get on with it. Don't tell me about this, that or the other, just present your case, make some kind of prediction and then lets see if it has merits, or maybe we can help you if we can.

No one here wants you not to be successful. Honestly, they don't. I don't. I'd love to be your supporter, but you give me nothing to support. You can change this, but you aren't ready, I guess?

To thine own self be true. Those are words to live by. Be honest with yourself and everyone who touches your life and you will be treated with respect. We all want that for you.

It reminds me of Jack Coles, sitting in his jail cell listening to background noises and saying an earthquake is coming because he heard it. He is mostly 0 or 0 in the hits department, yet people seem to want to hear what he has to say. But even with his little radio noises, he does issue predictions. I can't give him credit for anything he does because I have no use at all for a child molester.

Credibility and a proper social standing are an absolute necessity in accepting predictions. He doesn't qualify. But you can, if and when you are ready.

I will say this though. To the women on this board you have repeatedly put us down and you never, ever apologize for your behavior and I don't like it. Yet you complain to a certain person when I answer your posts. I don't like that either. You can stand on your own without someone having to run interference for you. Today, you still are waivering on giving me credit for getting the water heater bill through the legislature. Is it so hard to say, "good goin"? You want praise, but you are darn slow in providing it anyone else and especially me and I do take exception to it.

I gave up my vacation time and money out of my own pocket for expenses to see that 5.2 million people had an opportunity to be safer in the future. Remember, I have a very limited budget and a daughter to raise and yet, if I can do something to make the world safer or better for another person, I'm there. Would you be?

This morning I spent 2 1/2 hours of my vacation time to go and sit with someone to understand my new project. I did the very same thing with my earthquake prediction and earthquake safety research. I funded myself, but I didn't do it for me, I did it for everyone. And I will continue my current project as much as I can with my minimal budget to see 100 plus million children receive a better life. Its only vacation time and a few dollars, but its a gift, I just have to give.

If you want to save a life via earthquake prediction, you too are going to have to give something to get there. If you have a program that works, give a prediction. Make an attempt. Don't talk about it, just do it. But don't do it for you, do it for them. You'll never regret it.
