Its strange that my post takes about 20 hours to show up and yours took
12.
Makes me wonder if they are being screened.
In any event I respect your views but unfortunately it does not seem
reciprocal.
I see no need to continue. Im pushing 70 and my last complete physical 2
months ago was great so I can assume that any exposure 30-40 years ago
was inconsequential. Im not particularly concerned by any casual
exposure in the present <g>
