Thanks, I try to do my part when I can. I had a forensics teacher in college who
thought I was a natural. Only I wasn't allowed to debate with the team. I would
had to have been able to travel to other schools for eligibility. Being disabled
I was only able to travel in my own vehicle (the school's was not accessible). I
was not allowed because the school's insurance did not cover other than school
property. I couldn't even sign a waiver and provide my own insurance. So they
nor I was ever able to see just how good a debater I might be. <sigh> Guess I
lost the debate with them, huh? ;)
