Chris,

I think I need to clarify a few matters and hopefully you'll understand what I've been trying to convey for the past few years.

The primary focus of the ear tone research project was to determine if the sounds which people hear are from an element of sound which is a precursor to earthquakes. It has been and may always be evolving as understanding parts of the program become more focused and clear.

If we are to realize it's full potential as a valuable prediction mechanism, then it requires the skill of a scientist to do so. The program needs further in-depth analysis to which I do not have the time or perhaps the necessary skills to perform.

Predicting earthquakes at this time will not prove or disprove the value of the research, but perhaps only confuse an issue which needs the mind which probably thinks a little differently than mine. I am not an analytically structured thinker so I am aware I cannot perform as well as someone who possesses this skill.

However, it does not bar this program from being viable to be taught to others who can use it the same way as my group does in an early warning network forum. And that's the direction it will go until and if I ever meet someone who wishes to sit down and go through each and every detail and is a scientist.

As you recall once some time ago I attempted to send you an example map so you could envision what Roger's mapping program provides to our group. However, you chose not to look at it, so I'll say that it will be out soon where it will be available to everyone on the Internet to see it, but you may not see it because of your limited abilities to go out and around. Or perhaps someone will post the link here where you can click and see and read the material that goes with it. But give it a month or so. I won't be posting it, someone else may chose to do so. IE: It won't come out of my computer but that of someone else who has my permission to share it with everyone, everywhere around the entire planet.

In closing I won't say that I do not intend to issue future earthquake predictions, but I will be very choosey about the one's I do select and primarily high end quakes as the rest could ruin my record and I don't wish to make it any worse than it currently may be.

In the months and days ahead I'll be working and doing the Mayor's Tour throughout California and go wherever that takes me. It should be a great deal of fun and finally my greatest wish will have been realized by December 31, 2006.

If you don't understand the above I will answer your questions to the degree in which I feel I can accommodate you.

Petra
