Hi Anatoly,
it's funny for me as an german guy to read your discussion about zeitgeist
and poltergeist ;-)
I think zeitgeist (the spirit of the time/age) and poltergeist are total
different things.
Poltergeist:
maybe this is a good definition: Reports of poltergeist activity typically
feature heavily on raps, bumps, thumps, knocks, footsteps, and bed-shaking, all
without a discernible point of origin or physical reason for occurrence
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poltergeist). But if you look closer at it, you
find out that it is a practical joke or nature phenomena like wind, wether
etc... are the cause.
Ciao,
Eckhard
PS: sorry for the off-topic spam ;-)

Since I like the sound of my voice too, I will translate the zeitgeist
from Bruce's email. According to Wikipedia, It is originally a German
expression that means the spirit (Geist) of the time (Zeit). Can it be
loosely translate here as poltergeist?
