<P><FONT face="comic sans ms" color=#bf00bf><STRONG>I am curius to know new
things I think that is way I became interested in SW. As to my
knowledge Hearing impaired people are using the hearing ones. They don't
have their own writing system. Haven't you every defended saying what
if , if they continue using the existing writing system? What big challenge
of the hearing impaired people was resolved as a result of Sign
Writing? Weren't they comfortable, is it a question of
equality....? I would be happy if Val of any one in the list become
interested in Sign Writing to tell me why you became
interested.</STRONG></FONT></P>
