[Lnc-business] Social Media Links on LNC page on lp.org

[Elizabeth Van Horn]

I forgot to erase your signature Caryn Ann, but why is there some 
'blocked gif" that appears?  I can't see it, and since I normally erase 
the signatures to not have long-add-ons per Chuck Moulton's suggestion, 
I normally don't notice that there's some blocked gif.  Is that 
something that's seen elsewhere by people reading? Oy.
