Hi John. I think that would be fairly easy for you to answer that question yourself. Look at the area of the prediction at the time I made the prediction. Do you see any quake swarms occurring?

It wouldn’t be in my best interest to make a prediction during a swarm, because there wouldn’t be any way for me to know if the quake was caused by the data I use, or occurred of its own accord.

It seems to me that you have become so fixed minded that earthquakes can’t be predicted that you automatically view everything that comes along as being faked, a scheme, dumb luck, or what ever.

Has it ever occurred to you that there just might be some people out there who are just as smart as you are maybe even smarter who don’t believe the way you do? Does that make them wrong?

The data I use isn’t the answer to earthquake prediction, not by a long shot, but added to other programs still waiting to be developed it could one day lead to earthquake prediction. However people thinking the way you do that could be a long time in coming. Take Care…Don in creepy town
