Whoa! You totally misunderstood me. Wasn't knocking the system at all--my whole family is Catholic, so it's actually something I'm pretty familiar with, the whole natural planning stuff. I guess it didn't come across right--I was knocking the way it was presented, because the list form and the equal emphasis on the rules besides EBF (when, as I know and you said, that's the most important one) made it sound like this system was some big time-consuming sacrifice, when IMO, this is all shit that mothers should be doing anyway.

Pretend I just added a big "Uh huh!" of agreement to everything you said--twas poor expression on my part.
