I have no desire to pretend otherwise. I find it amusing this is being posted on an internet forum, where it is then discussed by people with internet access on their computers. If I don't want to deal with phone/internet I walk away and go read for a while. Also I think ncn makes a valuable point. I was being slightly sarcastic. But, as was mentioned in the article, it is good for people have ear sensitivity to electronic noises. In any event, if you ever happen to pass through West Virginia, you would probably enjoy visiting the Green Bank National Radio Astronomy Observatory. -10 pts to me for not catching the sarcasm! Yeah actually I would enjoy spending quality time at a radio astronomy observatory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Va, is a tech-savvy teenager’s nightmare. In this tiny town in Pocahontas County — population 143 — wireless signals are illegal. No cell phones. No WiFi. No radio. No Bluetooth. No electronic transmitters at all. You’re not even allowed to cozy up to an electric blanket. <snip> Surprisingly, a ban on all things wireless hasn’t driven residents away. It’s actually drawn people from all across the United States to settle down. Sufferers of electromagnetic hypersensitivity — a disease supposedly caused by wireless signals, but dismissed by the scientific community — have moved into the electronic dead space.

No, my folks were not Hatfields, but my aunt was a Hatfield and her daughter (my cousin of course) married a Hatfield. I am from out of State, Dad moved out before I was born. I knew so little about the now televised feud that I didn't even know till recently the McCoys were from Kentucky. Just thought they both were from Mountain Momma.

Not all of WV is like that, and there certainly were no signs of the coal industry in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've recently decided to stop carrying my cell-phone around with me and it actually makes me happier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
