This is the post from Igenex president, Nick
Harris, about our recent letter writing campaign to
the NY TImes.

Thanks so much to all of you who
wrote. We have become a really awesome community.

"I want to thank everyone who wrote or faxed to Dan
Hurley, the reporter, or the editors of the New York
Times on behalf of IGeneX. It is really bigger than
IGeneX, because it goes to the heart of our definition
of Lyme disease. Your collective voices were heard.
The New York Times killed the story. It could not
have been done without you. The New York Times is one
of the most powerful newspapers in the world, but they
listened to you and just maybe they had second
thoughts about the story. This is what we, The Lyme
Community, have hoped and prayed for, a fair and
balanced story about the devastation of Lyme and its
chronic nature. We have indicated to Mr. Hurley
that we welcome and have hoped for a story �`` but one
that is fair to all sides. We have urged him to read
your letters and talk to some of you so that the real
story can be told.

With gratitude and united in our efforts,

Nick S. Harris "

We must thank you for keeping the collectiveity,,,did that sound right?
