I try not to post too many OT, but I feel that it
would be a good idea to tell everyone this.  I saw
on FOX News that the US has issued a Travel
Advisory as well as a warning about going to and
receiving things from Hong Kong, Japan, China, and
other places in Asia.  I am sure you guys know
about the SARS illness going around which has
claimed quite a few lives in Asia (I "heard" the
death toll is now more than 300/400) and they
believe that it can also be carried through
packages that were handled by infected
individuals.  I have already been told by quite a
few people to refrain from buying things from Asia.

Please note, I am NOT trying to stir up trouble
here or anything like that, but I wanted to give
you guys a warning as I know many of you do like
to order things from Japan.  I am just trying to
look after my fellow cel collectors and friends
and ask that they take care of themselves and act
responsibly about it.
