Hi Lowell:

Thanks for the most informative post. I have to agree with you regarding Don. He seems very well informed and is a wealth of information.

Couple of more questions if you have the time

1. Why do the predictors using your services prefer to keep their predictions private?
2. Why are people generally afraid of the government looking at their predictions?
3. What is your general thoughts about the existing prediction boards and their inability to maintain some sort of centralized database as a reference?
4. Do you feel what I'm proposing the Earthquake Prediction Registry would be a benefit to the public?
5. What suggestions would you have to improve what Roger and I have developed so far with the registry?
6. Do you have any other suggestions or ideas that would help to move the art of earthquake prediction forward?
7. Can we list your registry info (address, email) as an alternate resource to EPR for those who want to register predictions?

Really appriciate your input, sounds like you have had much more experience with this than I.

Thanks!

Michael
