Example: An Asus chord would naturally refer to using the 4th in place of the third note in the A chord and an Asus2 would refer to using the 2nd in place of the third. Either way, the third is not present, so the Asus chord cannot claim a Major or minor existance. If the third is used along with the 2nd, it would be considered an A9 chord ( Major, because of the third).
