hahah... the guy who wrote it sure isn't a "Johnston". He's Indian... And if he's an M.D., I'm not sure why he drives an Integra LS sedan LOL.. Funny how things get twisted on the internet.
Update #3: A variant has surfaced which appears to have been "signed" by a Richard L. Johnston, M.D. of Jackson, Mississippi. Dr. Johnston is a real person, but he did not write this text; like thousands of other people, he simply forwarded it to friends and family. Unhappily for him, however, his email program automatically appended his name and address to the message, and copies with that signature have been forwarded, forwarded, and forwarded again, to the point where many people now assume he was the author. He was not.
