Write ASL? Research

[Adam Frost]

I am doing a research project on the general feel of the Deaf Community on
ASL being written. Because of the nature of the research, I need as many
people that can to reply with thier answers ASAP. Only those who are Deaf
can participate. (If I sent this to you and you are hearing, it is because I
want you to send this to other Deafs that you know. :-) No offence
intended.) If you know of someone who is Deaf please give them a copy of
this to them and have them send it to me. Thanks.
