They're on the same page as other stuff I read. Sometimes I accidentally
read the first sentence of one. And I used to read them when I was 10 and
didn't really know any better. By the time I was 12, I didn't pay any
attention to them. Plus, you can read them for entertainment value, kinda
like Nostradamus. :) And sometimes a set of horoscopes can be
inconsistent, if some of them refer to other signs, and you can *really*
scoff and feel superior to the idiot who wrote it.
As for banning from the list, I think that people who claim that the Dean
Drive really works are higher on the list than people who read horoscopes
to laugh at them. :)
Oh, wait, I'm a listowner. Not sure I can ban myself. Nick?
Julia
who doesn't ever again want to have a RL conversation with someone
claiming that the Dean Drive really works
