[nabs-l] Special Ed.

[T. Joseph Carter]

Melissa, I'm still working on that one.

Ordinarily I would say that we do it by demonstrating that we are just as 
capable as anyone else by getting out there and delivering the same quality 
and results as our peers.  Unfortunately, setting a good example only tends 
to educate those willing to learn and understand.

I've got some of the other kind who don't want to understand, don't really 
care what I think I can do.  I'm not really sure that I should discuss 
details on an archived mailing list.  It's gotten nasty.
