        I have a Research Assistant who is deaf.  He can read lips, but in
face-to-face interactions he is often misperceived as dull-witted.

        The ability to communicate electronically on our local area network,
and via it with the wide area network, is an opportunity for liberation of his
intellect.

        I hope he will be reading more discussion like this in our forums, and
eventually contribute to them himself.
