Ahem. (giggle)

Oh come on.  Post your software.

I vote to ignore both those people who claim that astrology is
a science (we just don't have scientific intruments to measure
it with yet), AND those people that won't look at astrological
software because they think it's a parlor game.

If someone says ``RUN THERE IS A TIGER'', I will run, but there
had better have been a tiger.  Otherwise next time I might not
believe them.  I can measure tigers.

Likewise, if someone develops an expert system and uses it to
play rogue, I will still accept it as an expert system, even
though personally I think rogue is a complete waste of time.

Let's get back to talking about the sky and the stars.

After all, it _is_ net.astro.

(p.s. no flames about rogue, please!)

(p.p.s. Another tip of the hat to the fine folks at StarDate.
        Keep up the good work.)
