but I don't try to selectively remember. Being an optimist [though frequently cynical], no one tries to have selective memory; it's a human fraility. It's whether you recognize the fraility in yourself and what you do about it that matters. It seems that what you do about it, is to lash out at the person that points it out. A different approach might be to be grateful to the person that corrects your memory and celebrate that you no longer harbor that errant memory. jttmab

but I don't try to selectively remember. The process of memory is quite interesting. The neurons measure weighted chemical responses against a combination of geneticly fixed features and completly programable pathways. There is a spot in the brain which brings it all together so that when all of the little factoids align ther is a "Eureka" moment. Many, probably most, people have conditioned their brains to respond to this as instant of understanding as a spiritual event and not an intellectual one. Without the Eureka reenforcement memories do not interconnect as well in a gestalt. iol.ie abcnews.go.com
