Fair enough. Not going to say lighten up or any such thing. FWIW I did post this only for fun and to get discussion going.

To tell the truth, this is the first time I think I've seen your points laid out so neatly and completely. And for the record, I'm in complete agreement with 1, 2, 4 and the whole 'astrological chart' thing (albeit for somewhat different reasons that you put forth here).

As for 3, well I used to be one of those who 'analyzed' and explained the Minn Multiphasic Personality test as an intern back in college at a counseling center. Yes they are extremely subject to interpetation and how you feel when you input the original data. I'm not qualified to dissect it any more than that, but suffice it to say that in my training sessions we were told that the tests were not 100% and were only one 'tool' in working with and individual. Never put much stock in them, because I '*knew* how we were interpreting the results...very shaky. So, I guess I'm saying, bully for you if you felt that way and stood your ground.

No offense? None intended.

LOL. So normally you find my post what? eh Cloudy? They ALL make perfect sense to ME I know you said what you did. Bilqis did ask you know I wasn't going to talk... honestly

Oh, I probably share those other reasons you're anti astro-chart BTW, this is just the practical effect that supports those other reasons.

Bilqis, thanks. My ex-wife has a degree in advertising/philosophy (dble major).
She now works as a media/marketing hotshot.
