Experts agree that the most virulent outbreaks are often observed with Lecia owners. Count me among the afflicted. Hope everyone this side of the pond and border had a cheery Thanksgiving. The rest of you just don't know what you're missing. All that food and no obligation to spend money on presents for other people. Cheers Kevin Hoffberg
