I am not going to disagree with much of what you said in your note. But you
have to look at things from my perspective.

It appears that I am near the center of an informal effort to get a variety
of international earthquake forecasting procedures coordinated. Just a few
hours ago I finished having the documentation for a novel procedure
translated from Spanish to English and will now format it and start
circulating that report. You can see quite a few of those other forecasting
programs listed at my Web site on the following page:

http://www.freewebz.com/eq-forecasting/141.html

For some reason the international picture regarding this type of research is
in my opinion largely chaotic. And one of the goals in order to get things
more organized is to get people equipped with better or at least consistent
computer programs. Generally with my Web site pages I have time to prepare
them and check them for spelling and to see that the sentence structure is
reasonable. There is not too much time available to organize them much
better than that. However, things do gradually improve with time. And I
expect that that Perl page will either improve or disappear if I choose a
different language. Also as I said in another note, the information on the
page should already be adequate for the other scientists and researchers
with whom I communicate.
