This is a matter that has to be given some careful consideration.

You might be asked politely by me to remove all of my original posts from the archives or have someone else do that.

If your answer is “No” then I believe that there is the possibility that you might eventually be directed to do that by any number of entities including one or more government agencies. You might try to contest that if it were to happen. But what would be the point? My older posts would probably not be considered by most people to be especially valuable.

As far as publicity is concerned, I would actually like to have a chance to discuss the subject of earthquake forecasting with news service personnel. And in fact I am actually planning to try to get some of them to do some stories that have a special focus on "why governments can’t predict earthquakes."

In my opinion, news services aren’t giving anywhere near the amount of attention to the problems that unpredicted earthquakes could cause for U.S. West Coast cities etc. as they should be doing. Nor are they apparently aware that earthquakes CAN in fact be predicted. And so, some publicity along these lines might do a lot of good. The Italy earthquake trial could be reviewed etc. from a forecaster’s point of view along with quite a few other important things that could and should be discussed.

If anyone else wants to try to get news services involved with a discussion of this subject matter, just point them to one of my Web sites where they can find my E-mail address. If they contact me then we can arrange to discuss matters by telephone or in person.

Again, for me this is taking some time for careful consideration.

These are personal opinions.
