Gene,

I don't know why Nicole Johnson refused to autograph whatever, but I do know she chose to travel the country supporting her platform, "Diabetes in America: Unmasking the Hidden Killer." She has also lobbied the U.S. Congress for increased funding of National diabetes research. This goddess has had this disease since childhood and devotes most of her time helping others and being selfless. We've bashed a lot of people and ideas the last few days (myself included)....and maybe it's thime for us to cool it and get back to our hobby.
