I felt quite good actually both then and now. But you seem angrier than you should be. Certainly angrier than someone who would have wrote "It doesn't matter which sign you check" and actually meant it.

You interpreted them as being angry, but I think they were just laughing at you.

  I am laughing at the mystery of existence. None of us have anything to be smug about, but we can laugh about it. Have to, really.

  Accusations of being smug are usually made by people who chose a team and you've encroached or offended that team somehow. There's often an aspect of admonishment in using that word as well. As for my part it wasn't based on arrogance as you'd likely expect. It was simply the result of a bet. I won that bet since no one noticed.

    Obviously no one would ever notice. Horoscopes are the archetypal example of a thing that doesn't matter. "Filler" is the newpaper term, also said of the stories laid out between the ads (which weren't). Nowadays we say "content". Winning didn't mean you were any smarter than average; the other guy was an idiot. But despite horoscopes being maximally random before they got to you, to which you therefore added exactly none, they have a purpose and a valid use that you failed to perceive, year after year, since. I don't use them; but people who do are not, thereby, wrong. So, your smugness is a case of imagining yourself smarter than you turned out to be. In life, few will explain your mistakes to you so carefully.

      Obviously? I don't think this is true. People pay money for horoscopes and similar so there are people out there who take it seriously. I don't. I didn't say anyone was an idiot. That's from you. Likely because you're offended. More than you probably should be. But thats your choice. If you think horoscopes are great then keep using them. I swapped the horoscopes around for a bet. No one noticed. Its ancient history. I won the bet. Already been paid. Already spent it. You can't change anything here. Now you're just online trolling.

        If you imagine me offended, you are wrong a third time. Or fifth, I might have lost count. It should worry you to be wrong so frequently about other people. But I prognosticate that nothing will change.
