- This is and always has been a bullshit excuse, Suzanne. I'm
- trying to make the evaluation. I don't want to take a class,
- I want papers I can read. I have no intention of practicing
- NFP based on your description on the net, nor I suspect, does
- anyone sles.

- For about the 100th time, what is the average time for which the
- couple must abstain from intercourse? Any study performed by
- proper scientists would have this piece of information.
- So, why do you refuse to give it?
