[net.misc] Original Idea?

sonnens@mprvaxa.UUCP (07/15/83)

Recently, someone posted an idea he had had to net.misc (Re: The Earth-Centered
Universe), and concluded the item this way:

	(PLEASE NOTE: I am serious about this.  A copy of this message
	 will be notarized and If any of you publish a book based on this
	 I'll sue your fanny off.)

What was the idea?  Was it something akin to the theory of relativity?  Hardly.
It was that the season of birth can affect a child's personality.  This occurred
to me many years ago, but I didn't jump to the conclusion that I was the first
person in history to whom that notion had occurred.

So much for the disinterested pursuit of truth ...
