If you are one of these => people, please don't flame me. Instead, tell me a better way to say it. I think this would be an interesting subject to discuss, but I think it would be more appropriate to begin the discussions in net.med, and if interest is high enough we could then create a subgroup. Depending on the particular person's situation, "disabled" is sometimes the preferred euphemism. Perhaps we could call the group (if traffic warranted its creation) net.med.disabled or something of the sort. Helen Anne {ucbvax,ihnp4,cbosgd,hplabs,decwrl,unisoft,fortune,sun,nsc}!dual!hav J.
