[Sportsandrec] Research Not Survey

[Carly Mihalakis]

Hi, Justin,

It's not THAT important. Why should we speak of the stick in 
reverent, terms when it's a part of us that ought to be a given?

I just don't like the pretentious sound of it.
Initiated folk don't call it a wheelchair, although others do 
prefering instead to call it what it is, a chair. It's the same for 
us, doncha think?don't Original Message----- From: JUSTIN LOUCHART
