I remember about 25 telephone exchanges but Ligett isn't one of them. I also remember wen they ran out of names for exchanges in the 1960s and just used letters like RN. I don't believe it stood for "registered nurse". Shortly there after they switched to all numbers. |

Thanks for giving me my laugh for the day saying you are more successful than I am.LOL! You have no idea of anything about my life. That's what makes it so funny, considering how much more successful I am than you! Anyhow, you still didn't respond to this: "Anyhow, what does "reading every post" have to do with "opening your eyes and looking at the forum index" to see who he is?????? Why are you so dense????" |

Yes, with lung cancer and smoking it's been studied and they've found a connection. They've also studied dreams and found that they contain no foreknowledge.

Because you only remembered 25. If that is an insignificant fact then why mention it? Why mention the limits of your knowledge? In today's day and age, with the resources we have, there are practically no limits to our knowledge. The fact that you put limits on it does not make you look intelligent. As such, it is clear that you at least appear to not know much about doing research. |

Wow!I didn't realize that remembering only 25 telephone exchanges means I am not intelligent. I will have to remember that. But you got me curious so I did google former telephone exchanges in NYC and was astonished to find hundreds of telephone exchnanges some of which I remembered when I saw them. But even more astonishing was that I never heard of over half the exchanges listed. But guess what? I remembered one that was omitted from the list. So does that make me intelligent or not according to your standards of intelligence? Now before you accuse me of "remembering" an exchange that only existed in my dreams, and knowing that just because something is on the internet, does not make it correct and noticing you could submit corrections, I wrote to the guy who developed the webpage to inform him of my discovery. Lo and behold he answers me the same day and confirms I am correct that I spotted an omission. He went back to his source documents and discovered the exchange was not in his 1960 phone directory but did appear in his 1961 directory, the year it was created. He also said he won't update the webpage to make only a single addition. The exchange is RN and ths is his website. http://phone.net46.net/nyc/latealpha.html |

And if something we now think is supernatural or unexplained is finally definitively explained, what will you say then? Will you just refute the evidence because it is someting you don't want to believe, claim it is insufficient or admit that something exists that you previously thought was bullshit?Since you never commented on my post about my friend and the unproven drug that saved his life, what would you have done if you were his doctor? Taken a chance on that experimental drug or taken the position that since it was not approved by the FDA as safe and effective, it should not have been used. Please answer honestly even though you know the results. Or are you going to dispute the success of that drug saying there is no proof it worked or he may never have had cancer in three places as the doctors believed. |

Because I enjoy having intelligent discussions which Is not possible with you two and is getting less possible to have on this site because of all the bickering and personal insults.That's why I spend more time on NYC Transit Forums where the administrator won't allow what goes on here. I was even asked to write artices on that site by the administrator because of my knowledge. |

When you say looking at the forum index, do you mean doing a search by author? If so, it is hardly complete. and why would I care to read all posts made by a single individual anyway? Maybe that's all you have to do with your time.And if you want me to repeat what I read I will since you asked for it. I read that you previously worked in a mailroom and were fired from that menial job. That you were divorced and your wife got custody of the kid which bothers you a lot. That you were so depressed you considered suicide but people like me who according to you "are always wrong" kept you from that alternative because you have this overwhelming desire to "correct us" and impart your knowledge upon us. (At least I served one purpose, keeping you alive) That you are a subway buff and have these ridiculous insulting discussions with someone who calls himself Edwards, whom I have never had an argument with. That you and Spider Pig who I used to respect before these recent conversations always agree with you and you with him. That you rarely say something intelligent and astound me when you do since so much of what you post is dribble. That you are constantly insulting me and many others because you enjoy provoking senseless arguments that are irrellevant to the subject being discussed. That you spend most of your waking hours here. Did I leave anything out that you think I should know? |

"We" now think is supernatural? Nothing is supernatural.You are conflating two different things.

So you believe that because there are still unproven cancer drugs that there are also unproven explanations for dreams? |

I can follow along perfectly when people don't talk in circles and constantly change the subject and have you chase after a moving target as is frequently done here.Perfect example is your statement about someone being born five minutes ago not being 50 years old which was totally irrelevent and just meant to confuse and your refusal to explain what thou meant by CO relating to Con Ed power. I don't see a connection to carbon monoxide or commanding officer or conscientious objector or whatever else you meant. All you did was respond that I was clueless so you really don't want to have intelligent discussions. |
