why?  to get you to ask a question?  You have given me TOS and no service.

When I'm back home I'll put a couple $$$ per week into google adwords, psychic
traffic is only 1c a click and open minded people are not dickheads trying to thwart
an experiment like all of you.

If I can turn away questions, then using my online form at www.MINDREADING.com
is sufficient to accept questions as nobody can follow simple instructions on usenet.

I'll post the good questions in <<MIND READING>> RESULTS OCTOBER and I
have added an MD5 field.

Check that October thread, the data is very systematic.

Check out the new page 2 of the site (just type in 1 field on page 1 and you can 
click through the 4 pages of forms).  It's has the famous DO NOT TELL ME YOUR CARD!
cliche!  Loveit!

I can accommodate your 'terms' all pretty well except f.  If the answers are to ANY
of the 3 dummy questions - then I will have to try a FIRST QUESTION FIRST protocol,
THEN I will quit.
