Stephen, as you indicate, there are always exceptions innearly everything 
that can be named. I commend you for your abilities. I think you must 
be gifted to be able to achieve what you did.
 
No doubt some schools for the deaf are beyond horrible. However, for 
the most part, they have historically been the center piece of the 
deaf community. This is not to say they have been faultless. Far from 
that. But they have been the hub around whichthe deaf community and 
deaf culture itself revolved.
 
I will discuss sign languages issues further when I have a bit more 
time. I will place them in Silent Talk Echo because Anne Stalkner and 
I seem to be having a fairly lively discussion on it. I have discussed 
the issue with her in the past and she has interesting thoughts, ideas 
and such. I enjoy learning from her about how others perceive signlanguage 
and their different philosophies pertaining to it. Join us.
