Hi Vixen,

That's really neat. I didn't know there were so many different kinds of 
signing. The fact that Japanese Sign is more geometric doesn't surprise me. 
It's like their art. Also, did you know the first school for the blind was in 
France? Maybe that's where schools for the Deaf started, eh? It's all a 
fascinating subject. Keep stuffing me with knowledge you guys, I'll take all I 
can get. Thanks.

Ann P.
