                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<span style="color:#105289"><b>Quicktrader</b></span> said; &quot;The time given in the letter is odd, anybody an idea why the time
is given so precisely? &quot;

If it's a date (american style), it's unclear why that date - Salmina was born in 1945,
so that date doesn't seem to have any applicability to him.
The use of the word &quot;past&quot; before the &quot;3:13:47&quot; numbers could be taken as an
indication of some thing in the past that could have struck a chord with Salmina
- is it possible it's a reference to some past baseball game 'statistic', home runs
hit, team runs made, that sort of thing - unfortunately I don't know enough about
baseball to recognize what specific type of game statistics it could be referring to.
The suggestion is that that set of numbers could act as a possible identifying
statistic (of which there may be a number of possible matching statistics from
a number of past games) whilst at the same the number does double duty as a
time on Saturday (but as a time, it has no particular relevance except as some
time on a Saturday when Salmina could be expected to be coaching/managing
a baseball team in a game).   

My guess is that if from the Zodiac, the intention was to hopefully scare <span style="color:#BF4000">Salmina</span> a
bit so that he might not effectively coach or manage the next 10 games of a baseball
team (Salmina was involved with several Marin County baseball teams) that in only one
of those games, was due to play against an opposing team that the Zodiac supported
- so Zodiac was doing a bit of supporting of <i>his</i> preferred team, in a way that he could,
in a what-the-hey whimsical threatening effort, by sending that letter.
The &quot;next ten Saturdays&quot; wording ensures that no <i>specific</i> opposing team is identified,
as if one specific Saturday/game had been identified, that could act to indicate what
area Zodiac resided in - (a reasonable assumption being <span style="color:#BF4000">that Zodiac would have a
preference for whatever team that was local to the Zodiac's area of residence</span>).]]></content:encoded>
