I've ignored up until now the spat that's been going on in the
|
|
cypherpunk list for the last many months. Some aspects of it have been
|
|
interesting, but a lot of it has been real nasty. Like real nasty. So
|
|
nasty I really didn't want to deal with it. I've used very good
|
|
postings (on other topics) by people on both sides of this in the past
|
|
for SURFPUNK.
|
|
|
|
But it has made a mark in a lot of places. Newsgroups, mailing lists,
|
|
and even paper publications (some named below) have been dragged into
|
|
it. CuD and others published some of its inania without giving any
|
|
explanation; it was bound to be confusing. People at the USENIX
|
|
convention going on in San Francisco right now are proudly wearing
|
|
"tentacle" badges, and people at the Mountain View Physical Cypherpunks
|
|
meeting introduce themselves jokingly as combinations of some of the
|
|
names below. It's turned tolerant people to call for censorship, and
|
|
people that write lucidly one moment spew inania the next, and vice
|
|
vesa. It's also led to a lot of introspection and has led to some
|
|
brilliant postings -- but they're few and far between.
|
|
|
|
This piece below got mialed out anonymously to a number of mailing
|
|
lists over the past weekend. This is the longer version of the two I
|
|
have seen. It's difficult to attribute authorship of it, although it's
|
|
clear who's style it is an extreme version of.
|
|
|
|
My guess is that if you've been hit by this mess before, you'll just
|
|
delete this, because you're tired of it all. If you don't, this
|
|
satirical piece almost tells the entire story -- you can probably
|
|
unstrapolate the major things from here. Especially the vocabulary.
|
|
|
|
Anyway, here's SQUISH. I have met personally almost all of the real
|
|
people (with their correct email addresses below), so really, don't
|
|
write to them anything about this -- I'm sure they've heard it all by now.

The recent WHITE HOT interest by multiple groups and individuals in the
|
|
|
|
CYBERANARCHIST TENTACLE INFILTRATIONS
|
|
|
|
into the Internet have inspired an EXCITING NEW CONTEST and COMPETITION!
|
|
|
|
we, the Federation of Associations of Cyberspace Everywhere (FACE),
|
|
announce the
|
|
|
|
SUPREMELY QUACKY UNIFIED INTERNET SNAKE HUNT! (SQUISH)
|
|
|
|

OBJECT OF SQUISH
|
|
|
|
the OBJECT of SQUISH is to find TENTACLES and SNAKES. A TENTACLE is
|
|
an email address used by a real person for the purpose of
|
|
concealing their identity from others. A SNAKE is a TENTACLE that
|
|
is particularly wicked and evil and will lie and trick others into
|
|
believing the TENTACLE is real. In words, the more consequential
|
|
and malicious a TENTACLE, the more it is a SNAKE.
|
|
|
|
Different points are awarded for playing. Anyone who can send mail
|
|
can play! The simplest and cheapest points come from sending email
|
|
to suspected SNAKES and TENTACLES, and chalking up points
|
|
depending on the responses. Larger points are awarded for `real
|
|
world' interactions such as calling suspected tentacles and snakes
|
|
at their telephone numbers. The largest points of all are awared
|
|
for finding tentacle infiltrations into important Internet and real
|
|
world outlets such as journals and news magazines!
|
|
|
|
When a snake or tentacle gets upset in response to mail, it is said
|
|
to be QUIVERING. It will go through CONTORTIONS to convince you to
|
|
leave it alone and may begin to SQUIRM if you persist. When people
|
|
are not writing through fake email addresses, they are said to be
|
|
using their TRUE NAME. TRUE NAMES may go through quivering,
|
|
contortions, and squirming too. Sometimes snakes or tentacles may
|
|
threaten to stop using an email account entirely. If they do they
|
|
are said to SELF DESTRUCT or be EXORCIZED DEMONS (these are
|
|
extremely rare). The TRUE NAME of a person behind a tentacle is
|
|
also called the MOTHER or the MONSTER.
|
|
|
|
Some of the TRUE NAMES are BIG MACS and some are SMALL FRIES. Much
|
|
larger points are awarded for exposing the BIG MACS, but some
|
|
points are available for SMALL FRIES. BIG MACS are famous people on
|
|
the Internet-- people that no one would expect have snakes and
|
|
tentacles, or have media stories written about them. Massive points
|
|
are awarded for BIG MAC exposures.
|
|
|
|
When different MOTHERS and MONSTERS send out TENTACLE-GRAMS or
|
|
SNAKEMAIL, they are said to be MOLESTING people. Sometimes the BIG
|
|
MACS molest followers, SMALL FRIES, or even other BIG MACS.
|
|
Sometimes they molest unsuspecting INNOCENT BYSTANDERS, this is
|
|
called RAPING VIRGINS. When a lot of MONSTERS get together in a
|
|
pack and attack, it is called GANG RAPE. A MONSTER commenting on
|
|
himself through snakemail or replying to one of his own postings is
|
|
called INBREEDING. When BIG MACS are involved it is called INCEST.
|
|
|
|
Anyone who knows about a tentacle or other CONSPIRACY, an `insider',
|
|
is called TAINTED. People who don't know are called CLEAN. Some
|
|
CLEAN and BYSTANDERS are particularly NAIVE and believe everything
|
|
that BIG MACS and MEDUSA says, they are called BRAINWASHED. The
|
|
ones that defend BIG MACS and MEDUSA are called BLIND. Those
|
|
that simply don't care are called BRAIN DEAD.
|
|
|
|
Many of the TRUE NAMES and BIG MACS promote various philosophies
|
|
that are directly opposed to their actual actions. They are called
|
|
STELLAR HYPOCRITES, and points are awarded for uncovering them.
|
|
Some of the BIG MACS even regularly betray their BRAINWASHED and
|
|
BRAINDEAD defenders and apologists and even fellow BIG MACS. The
|
|
followers who are striving to become BIG MACS themselves are
|
|
called WANNABES. They are called TRAITORS guilty of HIGH TREASON.
|
|
Valuable points are award for players who ATTACK the STELLAR
|
|
HYPOCRITES or BIG MACS using such strategies as TICKLING, POKING,
|
|
and COUNTERMEASURES like name calling, negative publicity, public
|
|
and private pressure, smear campaigns, mudslinging, humiliation,
|
|
exposure, etc.
|
|
|
|
Matches take place in Cyberspace on the PLAYFIELD, with different
|
|
regions consisting of INFECTED OUTLETS, CRIME SCENES, and KILLING
|
|
FIELDS. A KILLING FIELD is a place where a tentacle and a player
|
|
compete or a Big Mac is assaulted. INFECTED OUTLETS are media
|
|
outlets or journals that carry BIG MAC propaganda, disinformation,
|
|
or lies. A CRIME SCENE is a place where provably illegal activity
|
|
takes place, e.g. someone passes a bribe. The more trusted an
|
|
INFECTED OUTLET, the more INSIDIOUS the lie. Some INFECTED OUTLETS
|
|
are particularly corrupt, they are called TOXIC WASTE DUMPS.
|
|
|
|
The grand point prizes go to anyone who can expose MEDUSA. MEDUSA is
|
|
the leader of all SMALL FRIES and BIG MACS, a wicked, evil
|
|
incarnation of SATAN on the Internet. She is the originator and
|
|
chief proseletyzer of the art, science, and religion of lies.
|
|
MEDUSA has dozens of SNAKES all over the Internet, particularly in
|
|
extremely sensitive areas such as Internet protocol development
|
|
(e.g. mercantile or digital cash protocols), posting from public
|
|
access sites and even `covers' and `front' sites, these are called
|
|
POISON NEEDLES. Corrupt administrators are always either BIG MACS
|
|
or SMALL FRIES. Some sites have administrators who are unaware or
|
|
apathetic toward infiltrations, these are called PAWNS.
|
|
|
|
When MEDUSA infiltrates many sites and spews extremely dangerous
|
|
disinformation and propaganda, this is called SABOTAGE. Telling
|
|
people to go somewhere else and dominating conversations with
|
|
irrelevant topics is called STRANGLING or GANG RAPE. Stealing
|
|
sensitive information from others is called ESPIONAGE. Sabotage,
|
|
strangling, espionage, and other types of cyberterrorism are called
|
|
POISON. MEDUSA hides her activities beneath the various phrases
|
|
PRIVACY FOR THE MASSES, the CRYPTOGRAPHIC REVOLUTION, and
|
|
CRYPTOANARCHY in respectable media outlets like Wired and the New
|
|
York Times. Sometimes this is accomplished by fooling reporters,
|
|
but note that not all reporters are CLEAN, and bribery may be
|
|
possible.
|
|
|
|
MEDUSA is the orchestrator of a MASSIVE INTERNATIONAL CONSPIRACY to
|
|
STRANGLE, SABOTAGE, and POISON THE INTERNET. Anyone who can drive
|
|
MEDUSA and all the corrupt BIG MACS from Cyberspace and the real
|
|
world forever is called THE SAVIOR and said to have DRIVEN THE
|
|
PHARISEES FROM THE TEMPLE. However, the player must avoid being
|
|
CRUCIFIED or the cash award will not be given.
|
|
|
|
POINTS can be traded in for COLD CASH. The first person with more
|
|
than 500 points gets A DOLLAR PER POINT (some restrictions apply,
|
|
not valid in all areas, void where prohibited by law, taxes may
|
|
vary).

SQUISH DIRECTIONS
|
|
|
|
1. Consult the list of SUSPECTED SMALL FRIES, BIG MACS, SNAKES,
|
|
TENTACLES, MEDUSA & SISTERS, and POISON NEEDLES below. Send mail to
|
|
any attempting to discover whether they are real or fake, or have
|
|
knowledge of other BIG MACS or even MEDUSA.
|
|
|
|
2. When you get CONTORTIONS or SQUIRMS, or mount COUNTERMEASURES,
|
|
keep track of your all your points in a file. Ratings are listed
|
|
under RATINGS below. List the persons and email addresses involved
|
|
and quote the actual mail. Keep permanent and complete records of
|
|
all mail.
|
|
|
|
3. Where possible, record phone numbers and call tentacles. Special
|
|
bonus points are awarded when the snake owner is not in the same
|
|
state as the snake, and you can prove it.
|
|
|
|
4. The biggest points are awarded for the greatest deceptions. Some
|
|
snakes in the lists below (the most deceitful ones) have actually
|
|
installed out-of-state phone numbers, developed software for
|
|
coordination, and have an international arsenal of infiltration
|
|
points.
|
|
|
|
5. In particular go after the BIG MACS and MEDUSA, where the most
|
|
fantastic points are awarded. Some BIG MACS know of MEDUSA; they
|
|
are called MEDUSA'S SISTERS.
|
|
|
|
6. if a suspected TENTACLE or SNAKE *ever* admits to being a tentacle
|
|
or snake, they are not valid. This game only applies to tentacles
|
|
and snakes who play the game themselves with QUIVERING, SQUIRMS,
|
|
and CONTORTIONS.
|
|
|
|
7. The categories listed below of SUSPECTED SNAKES, TENTACLES,
|
|
ACCOMPLICES, BIG MACS, and MEDUSA are not conclusive or
|
|
definitive. In particular, some people in these lists may be
|
|
INNOCENT BYSTANDERS, and their harassment should be minimized. But,
|
|
be careful! the SNAKES, TENTACLES, ACCOMPLICES, BIG MACS, and
|
|
MEDUSA will all claim to be INNOCENT BYSTANDERS.
|
|
|
|
8. The best players and highest awards are recorded periodically in
|
|
the HALL OF SHAME.

|
|
announcements.)

SUSPECTED ACCOMPLICES (SMALL FRIES)
|
|
===
|
|
|
|
1 Steve Klingsporn <moofie@apple.com>
|
|
2 Geoff Dale <plaz@netcom.com>
|
|
|
|
Klingsporn and Dale are housemates and were involved in the defense
|
|
of the known tentacle szabo@netcom.com. Dale appears to have close
|
|
ties to the T.C.May Big Mac. Klingsporn has some knowledge but is
|
|
mostly uninvolved.
|
|
|
|
|
|
SUSPECTED FAKE ADDRESSES (SNAKES AND TENTACLES)
|
|
===
|
|
|
|
5 Caleb@sidefx.sidefx.com
|
|
|
|
A Canadian tentacle and infiltration site of T.C.May's. No
|
|
prominent profile known.
|
|
|
|
6 Jamie Dinkelacker <jamie@netcom.com>
|
|
|
|
Not particularly interesting any more either except that he has a
|
|
phone number and has close ties to T.C.May. In fact, very likely he
|
|
is a T.C.May tentacle. Very arrogant, obnoxious, and cruel.
|
|
Delights in torture. Puerile threats.
|
|
|
|
7 Matthew B. Landry <mbl@ml7694a.leonard.american.edu>
|
|
|
|
Landry has a telephone number in Washington, and supposedly goes to
|
|
school there. He is a suspected T.C.May tentacle. He has posted to
|
|
the Cypherpunks list in the past. He is highly dangerous and will
|
|
tell lies to gain sympathy or credibility and then betray later.
|
|
Not particularly interesting any more but was involved in some
|
|
extremely grotesque inbreeding with T.C.May on the cypherpunks
|
|
list.
|
|
|
|
8 Peter Bachman <pbachman@skidmore.EDU>
|
|
|
|
P.Bachman has contributed to the Society for Electronic Access list
|
|
and others. He is actually a tentacle. Maybe a P.Metzger snake.
|
|
Most disturbingly he has infiltrated RISKS.
|
|
|
|
9 Nick Collision <mathew@mantis.co.uk>
|
|
|
|
Nick Collision has also infiltrated RISKS. A tentacle, but unknown
|
|
origin-- possibly a T.C.May snake. Supposedly lives in the United
|
|
Kingdom somewhere but refuses to comment specifically or give a
|
|
phone number. Edits the alt.atheist FAQ (atheism is another classic
|
|
Cyberanarchist philosophy). If Collision is a proven tentacle, the
|
|
cyberanarchist infiltration is provably international in scope,
|
|
with fake domain fronts. No known jobs have ever been performed
|
|
by the `software consultants' at mantis.co.uk.
|
|
|
|
10 Arthur Chandler <arthurc@crl.com>
|
|
|
|
On the Future Culture list and Cypherpunks. probably an E.Hughes
|
|
tentacle. This may be a wedge into discovering credit or SMTP
|
|
software manipulations by Cypherpunks.
|
|
|
|
11 Greg Broiles <greg@ideath.goldenbear.com>
|
|
|
|
Probably a snake of Medusa. Has intimate knowledge of fake email
|
|
address use, knows about customized software, and has bizarre
|
|
Cyberanarchist theories relating to human punishment. Strong
|
|
knowledge of Macintosh software and hardware.
|
|
|
|
12 Eli Brandt <ebrandt@jarthur.Claremont.EDU>
|
|
|
|
Definitely has high level knowledge of the Big Macs and Medusa.
|
|
Probably an E.Hughes tentacle. Once wrote, `I AM MEDUSA,
|
|
CONTROLLER OF ALL TENTACLES'.
|
|
|
|
13 Paul Ferguson <ferguson@icm1.icp.net>
|
|
|
|
Another highly dangerous tentacle. Known to steal resumes. One of
|
|
the Washington sites besides M.Landry. Known to have posted
|
|
cyberanarchist propaganda on the PEM development list.
|
|
|
|
14 Nick Szabo <szabo@netcom.com>
|
|
|
|
The Szabo tentacle is one of the most persistent of all. Even after
|
|
being exposed the `mother monster' continues to post, because a
|
|
fairly significant reputation investment has been established under
|
|
the name. Has strong interest in digital cash. Has admitted to
|
|
knowledge of fake name use. Probably a T.C.May tentacle.
|
|
|
|
15 Hal Finney <hfinney@shell.portal.com>
|
|
|
|
Finney is either a tentacle or an accomplice. If he is a tentacle he
|
|
is the most treasured one of all. Involved in the defense of the
|
|
jamie@netcom.com tentacle. Possibly an E.Hughes snake. Supposedly
|
|
has contributed significant code to anonymous remailers and
|
|
Zimmermann's PGP. (If he is a tentacle, Zimmermann has been
|
|
fooled.) May even be Medusa's snake.

SUSPECTED ASSOCIATES (MEDUSA'S SISTERS)
|
|
===
|
|
|
|
20 Jim McCoy <mccoy@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu>
|
|
|
|
A `nerdy' cyberanarchist who does things such as sleep in his
|
|
clothes. Close ties to D.Barnes in Texas. They are working on their
|
|
own digital bank in competition and cooperation with CA
|
|
cyphrepunks. Longtime Usenet poster. Knowledgeable on the most
|
|
serious subversive activities.
|
|
|
|
21 Doug Barnes <cman@io.com>
|
|
|
|
D.Barnes is a lackey for Big Macs and Medusa. He may attack
|
|
postmasters and coworkers at participating SQUISH player sites.
|
|
Sysadmin of the io.com site. Introduced to fake addresses by
|
|
E.Hughes.
|
|
|
|
22 Perry Metzger <pmetzger@lehman.com>
|
|
|
|
Metzger is the pit bull of the Internet. He has perfected the
|
|
cyberspatial ad hominem attack. He has close ties to all the Big
|
|
Macs and is probably aware of who Medusa is. His own tentacles and
|
|
snakes are minor in comparison. Likes the mailbomb as a threat and
|
|
attack. Probably involved in anonymous phone threats.
|
|
|
|
23 Bill Stewart <wcs@anchor.ho.att.com>
|
|
|
|
This is a very dangerous insider, who has close affiliations with
|
|
the Big Macs and a prestigious job at AT&T. Has claimed to have
|
|
seen known tentacles and snakes at Cypherpunk parties and even
|
|
seen their driver's licenses. Classic cyberanarchist propaganda
|
|
outlet.

|
|

SUSPECTED LEADERS (BIG MACS)
|
|
===
|
|
|
|
25 Stanton McCandlish <mech@eff.org>
|
|
|
|
Probably on the secret cypherpunk development lists. Maybe
|
|
knowledgeable about deceptions by other Big Macs. EFF online
|
|
activist. Definite cyberanarchist apologist and sympathizer.
|
|
|
|
26 John Gilmore <gnu@toad.com>
|
|
|
|
Cyberanarchist, built up Cygnus support. Admitted drug user.
|
|
Probable snake charmer. Generally more ethical and moral than other
|
|
Big Macs. May be a wedge into them.
|
|
|
|
27 T.C.May <tcmay@netcom.com>
|
|
|
|
Close personal friend of E.Hughes. Worked for Intel and is a
|
|
millionaire in stock values. May be financing the major
|
|
international fake address infrastructure. Probably manipulating
|
|
dozens of tentacles. May have hired actors and forged drivers
|
|
license to defend tentacles.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
SUSPECTED MASTERMIND (MEDUSA)
|
|
===
|
|
|
|
40 Eric Hughes <hughes@soda.berkeley.edu> <hughes@ah.com>
|
|
|
|
Hughes is probably the mastermind of all major tentacle
|
|
manipulations on the Internet. Has bizarre theories about human
|
|
punishment and law enforcement. Denies any involvement. May be
|
|
involved in illegal credit scanning. Interested in black
|
|
marketeering, money laundering, etc. Very terse in all mail.
|
|
Refuses to comment on all areas. Extremely dangerous. Has
|
|
personally established many of the corrupt sites particularly in
|
|
WA, CA, and TX.
|
|

|
|

SUSPECTED CORRUPT SITES (POISON NEEDLES)
|
|
===
|
|
|
|
Note: Any site supporting a snake can be corrupt, so that proven
|
|
snakes lead to proven corrupt sites (see above). Those listed below
|
|
are only the more serious ones.
|
|
|
|
0 netcom.com
|
|
|
|
Paradise for cyberanarchists. Cheap, unauthenticated accounts
|
|
indistinguishable from the real people. `Privacy' never violated so
|
|
far by the Pawns. Close proximity to the CA cypherpunks. Home of
|
|
dozens of snakes and tentacles. Cyberanarchist Central.
|
|
|
|
10 io.com
|
|
|
|
D.Barnes' site. Lots of other fake addresses from inconsequential
|
|
tentacles not listed above.
|
|
|
|
40 mantis.co.uk
|
|
|
|
Supposedly a group of software consultants, but probably a
|
|
cyberanarchist front. Could be a major wedge into the
|
|
cyberanarchist conspiracy if exposed; has some links to the
|
|
`Extropian' movement.
|
|
|
|
50 crl.com
|
|
|
|
Probably corrupted by associations with E.Hughes and credit and SMTP
|
|
tampering, based on the Chandler tentacle.
|
|
|
|
100 sun.com
|
|
|
|
Extremely suspicious activity by sysadmins. Some probable email
|
|
impersonation going on. Possible telephony corruptions.

A NOTE ABOUT YOUR OPPONENTS
|
|
===
|
|
|
|
The entities listed above, i.e. your opponents in SQUISH, are
|
|
extremely sophisticated and have years of practice in fake email
|
|
address use, and have learned how to rebuff and thwart even the
|
|
most determined inquiries. They have extremely powerful resources
|
|
at their disposal, including dozens of public access acounts, front
|
|
sites, cover stories, and automated software for identity tracking,
|
|
and sizeable investments in hardware and their own countermeasures.
|
|
You will be attacking their most cherished vices and lies and they
|
|
will respond viciously. They may be involved in criminal activities
|
|
such as credit and telephony tampering, forgery, impersonation,
|
|
fraud, etc. Beware of dangerous hazards they have erected or may
|
|
hurl at you.
|
|

UPDATES
|
|
===
|
|
|
|
updates on the SQUISH contest will be posted regularly. Send in
|
|
notice of the more spectacular point accumulations with proof for
|
|
verifications immediately and the Halls of Fame and Shame.
|
|
Unverified points are not valid toward the cash prize.

THE CASH PRIZE
|
|
===
|
|
|
|
A cash prize will be awarded to the first person to surpass 500
|
|
points, one dollar per point. The person may continue playing to
|
|
continue to gain cash. Further awards may be presented to close
|
|
contenders. Some restrictions apply. Void where prohibited. Tax not
|
|
included. In the case of deceased victims the award will be given
|
|
to the nearest living relative, or the Federation of Associations
|
|
of Cyberspace Everywhere (FACE) if all relatives have met
|
|
mysterious fatal accidents as well. If the world economies have
|
|
collapsed from cyberanarchist sabotage before the award is
|
|
granted, no further action is necessary (this constitutes the final
|
|
sign of the Apocalypse).

MORE ABOUT `SQUISH' AND `FACE'
|
|
===
|
|
|
|
The Federation of Associations of Cyberspace, Everywhere was founded
|
|
in 1994 as a group that coordinates the activities among the many
|
|
different online organizations. We have played a very low-profile
|
|
role to date, and wanted to find some way of promoting our newfound
|
|
alliance. We have groups combined from BBSes, local area networks,
|
|
the Internet, and other global and local networks around the world
|
|
(see below).
|
|
|
|
We have built up some membership funds from the contributing
|
|
organizations and private contributions to provide the prize money
|
|
for SQUISH, and some private individuals have donated significant
|
|
amounts. The contest was inspired by S.Boxx, who was the architect
|
|
of point classifications and the current opponent lists. S.Boxx has
|
|
also promised to provide any funds necessary for the successful
|
|
completion of the contest. We hope that recent interest into snakes
|
|
and tentacles by many on the Internet will make the contest
|
|
spirited entertainment and a strong success.
|
|
|
|
We encourage reporters and the media to use this announcement as our

Newsgroups: ca.earthquakes

From: memcint@well.sf.ca.us (Margrit McIntosh)
|
|
Subject: List of recent predictions
|
|
Date: Tue, 11 Jan 1994 06:19:16 GMT
|
|
Distribution: ca
|
|
|
|
Here's my latest version of earthquake predictions (the
|
|
last post like this I did was in October). Per Dan
|
|
Drasin's request I have included the predicted
|
|
probabilities, when given. This is only a list of
|
|
predictions that I have happened to see on the Well or on
|
|
ca.earthquakes, and is NOT a comprehensive list of the
|
|
predictions made by the people listed. Also, there may be
|
|
details of the predictions that did not get posted to the
|
|
Net -- I can only report on what I have seen.
|
|
|
|
The status of the prediction for a 5.0+ "in the Americas"
|
|
on October 24 1993 is unknown -- there was a 6.6 near the
|
|
eastern coast of Guerrero, Mexico, during that week in the
|
|
USGS report but I did not catch the exact date.
|
|
|
|
I have not added the report that "Gordon Michael Scallion
|
|
continues to forecast a 'megaquake' for California" posted
|
|
on the Well by glyph since there are no details reported.
|
|
Perhaps this is a continuation of the 8.0+ predicted for
|
|
Southern California by G-M Scallion with a 90% probability
|
|
by the end of May 1993?
|
|
|
|
1) "Something on the Calaveras" by Jan 16 1994 (Jan 8 -
|
|
16), no magnitude or probability given. Predictor: "EM
|
|
researcher" (source: glyph). Status: open
|
|
|
|
2) An 8.0+ in southern California by the end of January
|
|
1994, no probability given. Predictor: Kenny Rogers.

|
|
|
|
8) A 3.7 to 4.0 in the SF Bay Area on August 17-18 1993,
|
|
no probability given. Predictor: Jack Coles. Status:
|
|
failed.
|
|
|
|
9) A 4.5 in the SF Bay Area on August 15 1993, probability
|
|
54% (see #11 from 1992--identical probability). Predictor:
|
|
Jack Coles. Status: failed.
|
|
|
|
10) A 7.5+ in Oregon by the end of June 1993 (April-June
|
|

|
|
Trombley. Status: failed.
|
|
|
|
11) A 3.5 to 5.0 in south San Jose July 14-18 1992, 54%
|
|
probability. Predictor: Jack Coles. Status: failed.
|
|
|
|
12) An 8.0+ in southern California between June 1992 and
|
|
May 1993, 90% probability. Predictor: Gordon-Michael
|
|
Scallion. Status: failed.
|
|
|
|
13) A 7.0+ in Sonoma county between June and Sept 1992, no
|
|
probability given. Predictor: Gordon-Michael Scallion.
|
|
Status: failed.
