OK folks. I swore I wouldn't post on this, but let me make a
few points.
   1) Regardless of any deep historical links between astrology
      and astronomy I think we can all agree that they are quite
      distinct at present.  This does not depend on whether or 
      not you take astrology seriously.

   2) If we start posting astrological stuff here then we will
      get postings like:
         "Astrology is *shit*.
         "No it isn't you arrogant son-of-a-bitch."
         "Your mother wears army boots."
         "Yours smokes mushrooms"

      Please spare us all.

   3) If there is sufficient demand, a net.astrology should be formed.
      If not, please take it to net.misc.

Enough.
