Hi,

Well, I will give ya that one Henry. You are right, if you do blow
up at someone because they offer to help you, you are only an
ambassador for yourself, not for all blind people. If a person
should think that one blind person represents all other blind
persons, than that person is the one with the real problem.

I don't know, maybe I am just really wired different. People offer
to help many times per day with things that I need absolutely no
assistance with. I have no problem giving them a simple no thanks
and going on my way. I suppose I could get frustrated by these
repeated offers, but I don't see any point in it. I have more
serious problems in my life without giving that much attention to
such offers.

But then, we are all different.

Keepin' the faith!
