Boy Walter this is a strange affliction. I hope someone else comes forward with a similiar ailment.

It's not really that strange. . .it's just a lot of folks don't understand it and equate the large head size with mental retardation. I've got a text file that I prepared for one of my other pages and I'll see if I can figure a way to post it here.
