Sounds great to me, Perry, and explains why I was always able to hear
signals through noise that inevitably had the YL/XYL asking me "How
can you listen to that noise?". Wasn't listening for some
broadcast-quality signal, merely plling out bits of information
because I could. Never heard it referred to as mental selectivity, but
it sure makes sense. You focus on what you're listening to and ignore
the rest.
