Actually "modern medicine" is starting to use leeches to relieve pressure
from newly re-attached fingers and limbs.  Why?  Because the rebuilt
circulatory system can't withstand the backpressure built-up in a formerly
lifeless appendage.  Mother nature comes to the rescue again!

Anyway, I would like to see astrological programs posted to this
mewsgroup.  After all, I can't forsee a crush of programs flooding
this category (counting both astrological and astronomical programs).
