I remember when I was a teenager, I used to hoard all sort of stuff... "I might need it one day", I used to tell myself, and over the years I accumulated a lot of stuff. It did not rise to the level of Compulsive hoarding, but I suspect the underlying psychological root causes may be related. I...

I have read something similar about marketing techniques being employed in supermarkets, which probably some of the readers are already familiar with: the consumer is tasked to choose which product they buy.

I happen to have the very same view. Thanks for the link, it looks interesting, I'll take my time to go through it.

I have a friend who constantly hesitates when having to make any significant decision. He will discuss it with me, ponder over it, then appear to take a course of action. When we speak again, weeks, or even months later, he will typically have backtracked because of xyz, and entertain the idea...

@Jon I browsed through a few topics and there are several interesting ones I considered replying to. However, I know that replying to relatively old threads is frowned upon in some forums. Do you have a policy for that, or it doesn't matter? Thanks

Nice one @Jon! It's great to have a place like this to discuss these subjects with like-minded people. Also, the name "The Mind Tavern" is cool and somehow conjures up the image of a cosy place for the brain :)

Hi everyone Not sure if this post will go through, anyway, I joined a while back and I first posted earlier on today, although somehow that disappeared. I think this is a great forum in terms of content potential, because of the topics discussed. Personally I think there should be more...

Hey guys, just a quick introduction I found this forum by way of Access Programmers. I asked a question in there a year ago and then I noticed some cool questions in the sidebar leading to this site. I enjoy most subjects discussed in here so I hope I can contribute!
