Hi, Kal, long time no see. I hate to tangle with a guy as generally
knowledgeable as you, but surely the spelling generally used today is
anosOgnosia rather than anosAgnosia as you have it. The somewhat
pedantic justification is that the root is the Greek "nosos," disease.

But hey, no big deal if either gets your meaning across. I also think
your version looks better on the eye for the elegant variation of the
"a" rather than the confusing three "o" in a row.

Hail, shades of Samuel Bosman, Greek master. You did not waste care
spent on "Besporyadok, Crown Prince of Chaos".

Does anybody know if there's a general term for the specific condition of
being unable to see yourself as others see you?

I know a lot of broad syndromes encompass an alienation from reality in
general, including paranoia, schizophrenia, and schizoid-type disorders. My
question isn't focused on the Krooborg, for a change, but on duh-Mikey. The
poor thing keeps prattling about "facts" and "science" and "reality", but if
there's an RAO regular who is more estranged from those concepts, please
tell me who it is. Mickey has repeatedly claimed that Arnii Krooger does not
initiate hostilities. What can one say to such an assertion? He's also
claimed that "most electronics sound the same" and that aBxism is a valid
and useful method of comparing audio gear, but he has zero experience with
aBxism rituals or, in fact, DBTs of any sort. He also claims that despite
knowing about the sameness of most electronics, he was a successful
salesdroid in a retail store. One can only guess which store, but it's a
little hard to accept that Mickey could ever have sold a high-end system to
anybody.

Throughout all these travails, duh-Mikey continues to insist he's right
about everything he says. His argumentativeness, though not atypical among
Usenet addicts, is especially obnoxious because he never hears
counter-arguments and never changes his opinion, no matter how much evidence
is presented to dissuade him.

Yes, I call Mikey the Bug Eater, but that's not the kind of term I'm looking
for. G
