	Excuse me for continuing this discussion here, but I did so
because this was the original newsgroup in which the topic of mind
reading or telepathy arose.  I did not choose to put this topic here.
I simply was interested in posting my personal viewpoint, from actual
experience.

	Of course, Bill, I understood Greg's argument.  My point was
that this is such an obvious argument that it might have occurred to
Greg that I had thought of it already, and had discounted it after
some rather convincing experiences came down the line.

	I hold further that the things which have happened to me
have happened to other people, and that they are certainly not just
a series of carefully chosen coincidences.  I didn't spend each day
going over with my friend every experience of each minute of every
day, looking for coincidences of this type; these events "jumped out
at us" as it were.  I don't always get "blasts of ecstasy" and so forth.
From this point of view Greg's analysis breaks down.
