If there was an age cutoff like in your example, then that would be released as part of the methodology. And if the age cutoff would result in a biased result, then they would be called out for it. So why would they do that? Their goal is to capture a representative sample of the target population.

As I keep saying, my (and everyone else's) doubting of you is justified by your posting history here and elsewhere on the Internet. OTOH, there is no logical reason why you should have doubted the people who told you the elevator existed, just like there is no logical reason for you to doubt most of the people who correct you on the Internet.

Furthermore, I never doubted you were the R-32 project manager, I just hoped it wasn't true as it would go really well with the rest of your life story. As far as Director of Bus Planning, you've not shown a shred of evidence that supports you having such a senior sounding position. You may very well have had it, I'm not saying it's impossible. It's just that all indicators point towards you not having such a position, but if you did, it's pretty clear why you didn't last long in it, your bus emissions story notwithstanding.

That said, I'm sure you're generally a great guy, like many people here are. You just don't seem to have a knack for planning, logical reasoning, or the truth. Also the Internet - you suck at the Internet :( But I hope to meet you sometime on a subway fan trip.

I knew my friend was upset because he coudn't find a job, but had no idea that he would kill himself over it. And you don't find it remarkable that five days before I dreamt his mother called me to tell me he passed away and lied about the cause (and i knew in the dream she was lying and knew the real cause) and she would call up and tell me in the same or very similar wording with the same lie, and I also knew she was lying while awake in reality. and it turned out I was correct in the dream and in reality about the made up cause as well as the real cause? None of that seemed remarkable?

And with the reunion, how could I be looking forward to meeting this person when I barely even remembered who he was and never had any real association with him. I don't even think I ever spoke to him. And at the reunion I purposely avoided him because I didn't want the dream to come true exactly so it didn't. Your explanation that i wanted to meet him subconciously makes no sense.

And as for the mugging, my sister described it as a friend and me being on a hill in a heavily wooded area with many trees around and three people approaching us and asking us for money. And that is exactly the way it happened. And she described it after the mugging and she was not there, so it wasn't a question of me recalling something not the way it happened. She described something pretty specific and not typical of an urban mugging. I also never told her where I was going that day because my friend and I made a spontaneous decision after her dream to go to that park.

And I don't agree that false memories are common. What is common is that certain people tend to remember certain events because for some reason it is important in their life while others will totally forget that same event until they are reminded of it and then the memory comes back. This happened to me a few years ago when a friend I had not spoken to in 40 years reminded me of something i had done for him in junior high because it meant so much to him. It meant nothing to me so I never gave it a second thought, but when he reminded me of it forty years later, I knew he was telling the truth and had not misremembered a thing.

The fact that you are not open to the possibility that some things are just not explainable now but may be explained sometime in the future if and when we gain more knowledge shows that you are closed minded.

When everyone thought the world was square and someone may have suggested it was really round, you would have accused him of being hairbrained because he couldn't present you with any proof, if you were around then.

Okay, but that still doesn't rule out the possibility someone forced her to take one or the other. Not saying that is what happened, but it is a possibility if she indeed was going to blow the lid off the Kennedy assassination and someone didn't want it to be known.

1. No, it's not remarkable.

2. You still remembered this person. Forgetting doesn't mean that the memory is lost, just that's it's not readily available to your conscious mind.

3. How do you know that she was remembering her dream accurately? Did you do a Vulcan-style mind meld with her?

4. See 2. Thanks for proving my point. And false memories are common. They've even induced memories in people. Psychic powers and other forms of ESP are total bullshit that have never been scientifically demonstrated.

5. No, that is EXACTLY what I believe. You, on the other hand, make stuff up rather than accepting that there are gaps in knowledge. Psychic powers are made up.

6. Why would a person claim the world is round without proof? That's the problem. You seem to believe that people can just make stuff up to fill gaps in knowledge. That's not how it works.

My posting history here and elsewhere on the Internet is excellent. Sure I make an error from time to time, but so does everyone else including you. And it is also untrue that I doubt most people on the Internet who correct me. Most of the time it is just a difference of opinion and I have no problem with that. I have also caught errors made by others, but I don't go around insulting them unless they are blatant liars.

You are asking for evidence for a position I have held 34 years ago. I didn't have any business cards printed up. All I may have is an old buck slip that anyone could just print up on any typewriter because that is exactly what my secretary did. We didn't go to a printer and it wasn't on any letterhead so you wouldn't believe it anyway.

I am still I touch with one of my former employees, but he doesn't post here and you wouldn't know the name so you wouldn't beleve him anyway. I didn't keep personal copies of memos I wrote because I never expected to have to prove it to you 34 years later. So what exactly do you expect? You wouldn't recognize the names of any of the people I worked with.

I may have mentioned that soon after I got the job my boss stopped the presses of the 1981 Brooklyn Bus map after I found 96 errors and it ended up being printed with only six errors I failed to find and that was after all the official proofreading had been done. One of the errors that I corrected was the Brooklyn Botanic Garden being called the "Brooklyn Botanical Gardens" and being shown where the Prospect Park Zoo is. How embarrassing would that have been for the MTA? Of course there is no proof because I was not given a copy of the map with the errors to keep. Most likely it was destroyed.

I was also proud of the fact that I had the bus stop at Brighton Beach moved from a block away to be in front of the escalator the first day of its operation in the first half of 1981. Do you want proof of that also? I remember having one of my employees rewrite a letter to a customer because it was plain insulting and I told him that was not the way to talk to customers.

So it is not pretty clear as you put it why I was transferred after six months just because you don't believe the emissions story. Long story short, there is no way I could convince you of anything.

If I didn't have a knack for planning I wouldn't have been responsible for the Southwest Brooklyn bus route changes which I do have proof for because I insisted the Department of City Planning produce a report for everyone to see. I personally brought over a copy to a half dozen Brooklyn Public Libraries which were located where the changes were. Today only one copy remains at the main Brooklyn Library at Grand Army Plaza and you can inspect it yourself. So if I didn't have a knack for planning those changes would not have stayed in place for 38 years and when one of them was threatened in 2010 because of budget cuts, the route i partially desiged was reinstated a few years later.

As for you, I have spoken to several people who have met you personally who have told me your real personna is nothing like the jerk you project yourself to be on the Internet and that you are really quiet and reserved in person.

And other than the nostalgia train, I have only been on two subway/rail fan trips in my life, one on Standards going on the Canarsie line and I do not remember where else, possibly the Rockaways and the trip on the LIRR Bay Ridge division around 1999 in the blazing 98 degree heat.

You make the following statement:

"The world didn't end after 1965. Someone born 5 minutes ago is both not 50 and is obviously born after 1965."

I never said anything to the contrary and that statement has zero to do with my comment and you call me devoid of basic logic?

You are deliberately trying to confuse people because you are the one who was inconsistent. You first argued that chances are R36 was born after 1965 so he wouldn't remember the first blackout when that could make him 50 years old. Then later you talk about his "apparent youth" and then you deny you are being inconsistent and call me illogical. You may know his exact age and I don't so I never called him a youth.

I am being perfectly consistent. You seem to be the one who has lost his mind by talking about someone being born five minutes ago when that is totally irrelevant to anything.

There was an age cut off in the released version which was 18 years of age. What I stated was that we do not know if there were any other versions of the study they did with a higher cutoff age.

The only studies we see are the ones that are released. Do you think that every study conducted is actually published? Only the ones with the results the sponsors are satisfied with are published. If the results are not as expected, studies are redone with slightly different parameters. That's why I take all studies with a grain of salt.

When you are young you tend to believe every study, but as you grow older your life experience makes you wiser and more skeptical. Just because a study is claimed to be a random study, doesn't mean it actually is random. If it is a telephone study made to random landline numbers, you have to ask yourself who is more likely to have given up his landline for a cell phone exclusively and would that person be typical of the general population? Or would he or she be more likely to be younger or living alone, or richer or poorer than the general population. Any one answer could make that study not completely random or it may not matter depending on the particular survey. And that is only one example.

I fear that BrooklynBus is actually suffering from dementia and that when it gets worse I'll regret making fun of him.

Apparently you have no sense of humor and can't tell when people are making jokes.

Of course they did but you have to consider the context of the dscussion. His statement referred to phones using electricity supplied by Con Ed which was affected by the blackout. The electricity the phones used were not supplied by Con Ed and were unaffected directly from the blackout.

Someone then pointed out that pay phones were not operating and it was also pointed out that the system was overloaded causing phones to appear not to be working when you just had to wait longer than usual for a dial tone.

So his statement that pay phones were not working because they use electricity which was interrupted by the blackout was incorrect.

1. Many would disagree with that.

2. I barely remembered this person since I had little or no contact with him ever. You stated that subconciously I wanted to meet him. Why should I want to meet soeone I hardly knew and didn't even like? Your explanation is just not plausible.

3. What does it matter how she remembered her dream? That is totally irrelevant. The point was that the story is to,d me happened actually happened when she would have no way of knowing that. How you can say that isn't remarkable is beyond me, other than you just can't admit it.

4. I never claimed to have any psychic powers. I just tlod you what happened and you just refuse to believe it. I also believe that 90% of psychics are bullshit artists out to make a buck and that there are a few legitimate psychics and those are the ones who do not seek publicity.

5. I. don't make anything up.

6. Apparently you never heard of the word "theory". That is an idea that you don't have specific proof for but can present an intelligent argument that suggests it is true, perhaps not conclusively. That's why it is a theory. When the proof is found, then it becomes a "fact."

First in 1373430 you say "Yes, there were blackouts before you were born." So you assumed that Mr. R36 was too young to remember the blackout. Then, you apparently changed your mind and said in 1373678Your assumption that he knew about the 1965 blackout just because he has posted here for a long time is also not wise, because even if he is old enough to remember it, he might have grown up in another part of the country. Posting here for a long time proves nothing in this case."

So who is being incosistent? It's you. As for the word "youth," it has a relative meaning as well.
