I can phone someone 300 miles away and we're both listening to exactly the same song.
I can type on another forum, almost identically what someone in the States is thinking.
As I say, I suspect it's more to do with similar interests than anything else.
I can say with absolute confidence that there are no psychics on here, as a true psychic would have no need of such a backward medium. Therefore all those who come on here professing to be psychics are by definition frauds, as a genuine one would communicate telepathetically.
OK, NazNomad, I take your point. A straight question as to whether there any of Santa's elves on here would be just that. The questioner would not want to be told that since the question assumes an absurdity the answer is 'Obviously not.' That would be considered negative.
I'll just say that the question would be better phrased as ' Any people who think they're psychics on here?' then I'll shut up.
If you substitute the word negative with something else, or don't take it literally (i.e. no "no"s) then I think we know what tinkerbell is getting at.
