>We [probably] use non-syllabic symbols for our "buss" comminications. Thoughts are more like a pulse. Not words. The symbols you are witnessing could be a leak (but I doubt it:-).
I'd know if it was a leak... I'd wake up wet.
>Understand, all of us on this board are writers. We write software. And to do that requires an ability to muster a transcendental state, on queue.
I figure you meant "on cue"... because I do have trouble queueing my to-do lists. The order in which I eventually do them is unpredictable.

Still Virginia :).

That's called concentration, and I'm not as good at it as I once was, but I'm still quite resistant to outside distractions. Quite often I get airplanes flying not too high and not too far from here (but they must be ships, not airplanes, because they say it's a naval base), and I don't really hear them unless they get to be really loud. And most of the time I don't hear what anyone tells me while the tunnel between my eyes and the monitor is on.
