Dear Snoopy,

Yeh, I knew that, but you know, I had to ask anyway. In my field, when someone interprets someone's behavior without the benefit of a clinical interview, we call it 'wild analysis.' I plead guilty to doing the same vis a vis homeopathy, but as a neophyte I'm considering this a kind of data gathering exercise--and I put the pieces in and later on I'll see how they come out.

Happy holiday.
