Not interested buddy,  you are being dishonest and there is no way you have
the aptitude to cooperate on a mind read.

There is a balance between simplicity and practicality, if you follow the website
instructions I should be able to determine your question by looking at the
usually subjective answers I can channel.

So far all your questions are intended to test the accuracy of the answer,
since skeptics cannot be persuaded this is not of genuine interest to find
out the answer I cannot help you any further.

You can ask 1 question per day at www.MindReading.com if you want to
test me out!
