Steve,

I tried to offer YOUR website as proof without looking at it very 
closely (it was VERY late, I was tired, I just wanted to hit the 
sack).  So I wrote my little note today hoping that someone knew the 
answer offhand (not surprised it was you and thank you for taking 
time from your busy schedule to answer what may seem trivial), and I 
just relied on flipping through SS hoping to find the right answer 
outright without the use of the internet.  Anyhow, I have now 
investigated your site in more detail since the moment I received 
your note, but I'm glad you pointed the information out in this 
manner although it IS also on your site!

So July 31st makes Harry an outright Leo (the Lion-how coincidental?)
according to astrology.  Hmmmm...maybe there's more discussion 
(argumentative) material here...as if there isn't enough already. ;)
