Then why did you announce it to thousands of people on the Internet, where it
will be archived for decades?

I seriously doubt they can. I can discern the flicker in *some*
fluorescent lights, but I can not discern 120 cps on a strobe. I
think what they are seeing is the "sputter" of a cold lamp or a light
that isn't starting correctly. The flicker I see in those lamps is
considerably slower than 120 or even 60 cps.

Peripheral vision is much more sensitive to flicker than central vision. Some
people will perceive an irritating flicker in a lamp or computer monitor each
time they turn away from it, and yet the flicker will disappear when they look
directly at it.

The perception is limited to the impression that the light is flickering; that
doesn't mean that they can count the individual flashes.

First, for any flicker the phosphor has to be defective ...

How can the phosphor be defective?

No, that's just a symptom of the electro shock therapy.

If a person's mental activity is largely devoted to playing a
simulator game and posting on the net, one can be sure other underused
parts of the brain begin getting used to support those activiites. If
you pilot an airplane often, the process becomes 'easier' because
there's actually more brain devoted to it. Some other underused
activity will be less supported.

So ........ posting on r.a.h. and flying airplanes decreases sexual
activity???

Only, Rich, if you hadn't been using part of your brain for those
other functions. As many here have characterized flying, "the most fun
you can have with your clothes on" (I might dispute that, but that's
another matter) so I suspect sex isn't far from real pilot's minds.
EVER! Well, maybe when they break out of a cloud and are see a
mountain coming at them at high speed they are distracted a little.

And Mr Dudley keeps his mind clear of distractions, as he mentioned
somewhere here, too. I think, on that subject, Mr Dudley, sailplane
drivers probably get closest to the emotions expressed in High Flight,
but can't speak from direct knowledge of that. Dudley, the Mr is a
sign of respect, by the way. There are a select few here I'd demand
call me by my first name: "Professor".

Maybe not, but my idiot diagnosis is inarguable.

Why do you post your idiocy for all time, fjukkwit?

A bit like looking at you.
