I became interested in sign writing several months ago when I stumbled across the Web pages. I have exchanged several messages with Valerie and found her to be supportive and friendly to deal with. I have no fancy credentials, no college alma mater, am just an interested friend. I am working to learn ASL and with it SignWriting. At the same time, I am trying to learn HTML, or at least enough to publish decent WEB pages. I found SignWriting (this list) to be a friendly group, with none of the oh-poor-me attitudes that happen sometimes among this type of discussion. I like the positive attitudes of the educators and international persons represented here and would like to encourage all to continue to share ideas and plans here.
