Chris,

You have been gone a long time. And during that time the issue (at
least for me) has passed. So I am quite happy to spend any and all
of our efforts in the production of a clear and concise document(s),
without the input of anybody not currently on the list. In line
with this, I don't want to waste any more of my, your, or other
people on this list's time with this matter, so as you've stated,
this is also my last reply on the subject as well. I was sorry you
brought it up again.

There's a lot of work to be done, and I seriously doubt any of us
have any precious "spare" time to waste.

Glad to have you back,

Murray

      LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): After English, astrology is my second
      language. Like a language, it's both logical and messy; it's
      useful in making sense of the world, yet full of crazy-making
      ambiguities. At its best, astrology is a playful study of the
      metaphorical link between the human psyche and the sun, moon,
      and planets. It's not a science. It's an elegant system of
      symbols, an art form with a special capacity to feed the soul
      and educate the imagination. When regarded as a precise method
      for predicting the future or when used to pander to the ego's
      obsessions, it becomes a deserving target for satire. So there
      you have it, Leo. I've clarified the essential views that
      underlie all I do in this horoscope column, and which therefore
      color the relationship between you and me. Now I challenge you
      to do what I just did: Get together with the people you care
      about and articulate the fundamental assumptions that form the
      basis of your connection.
