Besides not really thinking anyone else would want my thoughts.... All the thoughts are formed/thought in the "I/me" frame of mind not a group POV.

The fire/hot relation is one of nerve reaction not thought process. Any thought you have has to be formed, understood, and registered in your mind so you can speak it. You might not realise it has been done and speak it before fully known but it is still created in your mind.

And those thoughts have been created in my mind. The time difference has been narrowed for the response due to repetitive responses much like anything else. You work with programs so your responses would be much faster then mine with the same programs but your responses aren't reactionary but decisions made due to experiences and deductive reasoning narrowing the choices of responses. When was the last time you answered the question "How are you doing?" in a language you have never spoken? If these words/thoughts were spoken before you ever form them and come from some source then you should be speaking them in foreign languages at times. Instead they are spoken in the language you use the most and in the same style as you usually speak, most of the time at least, can't speak for anyone who wakes up in the middle of the night!

exactly but those thoughts were formed and just stored for future availability, much like defragmenters adjust the most commonly used programs on your computer so they are retrieved quicker. The computer doesn't create them new just grab them quicker.

If I ask you to explain a certain topic do you not form these thoughts in your mind or do you pull them out of thin air? Are you saying that you just speak/type thoughts/posts without creating them yourself just throwing them out from a different source?

Specific and unique to my Point of View.
