Thanks a lot IdleMind. You know we all do that nowadays. We have become so web-savvy that the moment we feel like finding answers to anything, we jump to web search for answers. I believe this is very good but in some cases like ailments and their symptoms, we may be head in a totally wrong direction. I have been a victim of cyberchondria a couple of times in the past. But let’s just make a pact with ourselves of not becoming a victim of cyberchondria hopefully ever again. :-)
