What would be scary, is if you WERE the same person… with a basket full on 
unmatching socks.

POOF your gone (grandfather paradox)

But on the good side I may be able to play the Bach piece without mistakes.

If you write a response maybe you can help out your previous self.

Yes, more than once. The only comforting thing is that most of the time 
it was a response from many years ago and I'm not the same person any 
more. Maybe that's scary...

Yes, more than once. The only comforting thing is that most of the time it was a response from 
many years ago and I'm not the same person any more. Maybe that's scary...

Re: Communication with future you with a message board

[Kaveh via use-livecode]

I have done exactly the same thing several times where my past self has
been the only one asking exactly the question I need. But this is not
limited to LiveCode forums. Yesterday I was scratching my head regarding a
regex pattern. I was overjoyed when I found someone asking precisely the
question I needed around 2 years back on StackExchange. It was my former
self!
