MORE ON MISSED WITHHOLDS ADO - 11 24 December 1993 Copyright (C) 1993 Homer Wilson Smith Redistribution rights granted for non commercial purposes. There are two broad classes of Withholds. They are POSITIVE WITHHOLDS and NEGATIVE WITHHOLDS. A Withhold is something that you know and others don't. A Positive Withhold was something you wanted to communicate to another but were unable to. A Negative Withhold was something you wanted to NOT communicate to another but were unable to. A MISSED WITHHOLD is a Positive or Negative Withhold that has been restimulated but not pulled. That means you were reminded about it, felt bad about it, but failed to complete your intention on it to have it known or not known, and so it gets buried again along with newly created charge. There are three broad classes of Missed Withholds. They are CLOSE CALLS, WONDERS and STILL KNOWS. A Close Calls Missed Withhold is when a communication was almost received but it wasn't OR when a communication was almost NOT received but it was. It was a close call, regardless of which way it turned out. A Wonders Missed Withhold is when the being can not determine if the communication was received or not. He is left WONDERING. A Still Knows Missed Withhold is when the being knows that the communication WAS received, but later he wonders if the receiver still knows or still remembers receiving it. There is also a Still Doesn't Know Missed Withhold which is when the being knows that the communication WAS NOT received, but later he wonders if the receiver still doesn't know. A Positive Close Call is when you try to communicate to someone and they almost receive it but you know they don't. A Positive Close Call is also when you try to communicate to someone and they almost DON'T receive it but you know they do. A Positive Wonders is when you try to communicate to someone and you can't determine if they received it or not. A Positive Still Knows is when you try to communicate to someone and you know they got it, but later you wonder if they still have it. A Positive Still Doesn't Know is when you try to communicate to someone and you know they didn't get it, but later you wonder if they still don't know. A Negative Close Call is when you try to NOT communicate to someone and they almost receive it but you know they don't. A Negative Close Call is when you try to NOT communicate to someone and they almost don't receive it but you know they did. A Negative Wonders is when you try to NOT communicate to someone and you can't determine if they received it or not. A Negative Still Knows is when you try to NOT communicate to someone and you know they recieved it anyhow, but later you wonder if they still know it. A Negative Still Doesn't Know is when you try to NOT communicate to someone and you know they didn't receive it, but later you wonder if they still don't know.
