Interesting that KT, I think most of us have either suffered from a given
illness or perhaps spent some time learning about whatever, then to find
that that illness pops up with far more frequency than one would have
expected from the past. Is it because of chance, poor past diagnoses, or
perhaps because when one drives a 306 one notices all the rest of the 306s
on the road?
