Boy, you don't remember stuff too good, do you? ;-) I took a picture of them stuck to my file cabinet, posted it on a.b.s.e, and you said that I'd voided the warranty. I asked, "What, by not cutting them in two?" because you had mentioned being able to separate the saying from the logo and address & stuff. You said, with much indignation, "They're _REFRIGERATOR_ magnets!" (I don't remember the exact level of emphasis, but it _was_ emphasized! ;-) )

I can't quote chapter and verse, because google doesn't archive alt., which I don't get any more anyway. )-;

Now Bill... So you _can\'t_ see it. Figures...

A brain is like a file cabinet: it can only hold so much, so file the important stuff and recycle the rest.

So happy to note that I can now aggravate Larkin just as easily as Slowman ;-) Larkin's first sign of senility is persistently trying to be an asshole when he is realy nothing more than an amateur.

His second sign of senility is touting his company's wonderful circuit designs as his own, while posting amateur crap on S.E.D

The third sign is acting like Polly Prissypants :-)

I brought an error very like that around here a while back. I had to eat it. Search for it.

This is one of the things i have been trying to get across to people. There is significant computing power in the spinal chord, which just happens to contain much of our balance reflexes.

Geez, no wonder you\'re having trouble finding a divide-by circuit. I commented on your _statement_ by asking a question. JF

My brain would beg to differ here. I remember _everything_, unless I'm in a blackout drunk state, which I don't do very much any more.

And I'd claim that there's no theoretical limit, since "memories" and stuff aren't held in some finite file cabinet-thing, but are stored in patterns of synapses; you don't grow any new neurons, but there's no known limit to the number of synapses you can grow - oh, yeah - we make new synapses everything something makes an impact on us - I think the expression of emotion releases hormones or enzymes or something that stimulate synapse growth.

Ever notice that you remember stuff that was a big deal at the time, but not mundane stuff, like what you had for lunch last week? :-)

You remember your downhill run - do you remember the T-bar ride just before it? ;-)

Cheers! Rich

I read about some people who remember everything. It's more a curse than a blessing. One guy says that the slightest input - a name, a sound, a number - unleashes a flood of memories that can be overwhelming.

There are lots of things better off forgotten.

John

You might try Internet replayer, it archives some of a.b.s.e.

Unless you have memories of actions which you\'d like to forget, why would you say that?

If you're a leftist you probably try to forget ;-) ...Jim Thompson

Oops, you're right about my answering your question; mea culpa.

But, From my earlier posts I thought it should have been obvious that my choice of sexual partners would exclude men.

YMMV. JF

Wow, that's about as delicate a phrasing possible to avoid the actual question, namely do you _like_ women?

Lots of men, straight/gay/asexual/whatever, don't.

John

Unlike you, whose tail seems to wag involuntarily and uncontrollably when you\'re in the presence of women, some I do and some I don\'t. JF

Sure sounds like you only associate "liking" women with sex. Question answered, but it actually was answered before.

John

To you perhaps, but you distort what you hear in order to make it sound the way you want it to.
