[Hint to the literate: irradiance does not move, neither does the money in a wire transfer.] Cecil says that a credit card is money, and presumably so is a wire transfer. All things are indeed, equal - apparently. Amazing analogy though - a power debit from one account, a power credit at the other - without power (or irradiance) having actually traveled the distance. All owing to the facility that transfers energy. 73, Jim AC6XG |

[Hint to the literate: irradiance does not move, neither does the money in a wire transfer.] Cecil says that a credit card is money, and presumably so is a wire transfer. It doesn't look like reciprocity would work. Is money a credit card (promise to pay instead of actual payment)? All things are indeed, equal - apparently. Ah yes, appearance, the bane of bandwidth limited perception. Amazing analogy though - a power debit from one account, a power credit at the other - without power (or irradiance) having actually traveled the distance. All owing to the facility that transfers energy. The power of analogy can be stretched further. Actually money is the energy (potential for trade) and is exhausted (power dissipated) when transferred to a debit account. If you tender more money than required (mismatch) some is returned to you to dissipate later. If you tender less than required (mismatch) some is expected from you to make the economic engine go. If you start trying to substitute, like say explaining in terms of optics why your bills are chartreuse where most are green - they push a small hidden button and you are Abu Ghraib bound. 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |

OTOH, Jim says that since his beginning balance and his ending balance are the same, that proves that absolutely no transactions (no debits and no credits) have occurred during the entire month. What are the chances of that happening in an active account? Zero? -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |

I suppose you could quote Keynesian Economics texts to prove this quaint notion of yours however. ;-) That's entertainment as they used to say. |

A conundrum, does that put you outside the crowd looking in? There are a lot of things you've never said. Can you prove it? Definition by negative example is next to worthless. |
