  Darrin,

      I agree. You have argued my point well. Bryce indicted me for using
Astrology, when in fact he apparently is also using Astrology. I am all for
learning from others. In fact, I tried to contact Bryce several times, about 10
years ago, leaving messages on his answering machine. But, he never returned my
calls. I  have not corresponded or talked to Bryce since I briefly met him at a
1989 conference where I was a speaker. Now,  out of left field comes this
hypocritical attack. He has probably never even looked at a sample of my work,
let alone corresponded with me. He is in no position to judge me. He must have a
list of possible competitors on a wheel, he spins the pointer, and sees who will
be his next "victim of the week". I guess it was my turn this week. Ironically,
it seems while trying to shoot me, he shot himself in the foot.


Cheers,

Norman
