Only 2 or 3 people have contacted me about 9/11, not including the ones whom I thought would be most interested, namely skeptics interested in showing that if enough monkeys play with enough numbers, one of them will hit the jackpot. One respondent suggested that the terrorists themselves saw my post and chose the date on that basis. I hope not. I claimed to be a prophet only to those brain-dead Christians who insist on predicting things based on Biblical numerbation. I have more respect for everyone else.

I check my records, and I did find your prediction at http://groups.google.com/groups?q=prophecy++%22september+11+2001%22&hl=en&lr.... Also, you can look at http://groups.google.com/groups?q=%22olli+saarikoski%22+%22world+trade+cente... where there is something that could possibly be interpreted as predictiong 9-11, although the post is in some weird language possibly Finish. Amazingly, out of all the crazy predictions posted to usenet, Steve Gray was only one to come up with the correct date. I wonder many other people have found your prediction. Anyway, have people contacted you, thinking that you are a prophet, or something?

If you look at
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=steve+gray+group:alt.bible.errancy&hl=en&l
, a Google site whose contents are impossible for me to fake, you will see that I actually predicted that a disaster would happen on 9/11/01, by combining certain numbers from the Bible. However, before I can claim to be the New Nostradamus, I must confess that it was a joke. I was making the point to some dingbat Christian that if enough people play with enough numbers, someone is bound to create an amazing accident.
