**********************************
There was some trouble over the weekend at the site that receives
our news so I am not sure whether this article ever made it out
to the net or not. (None of my mail did)
**********************************
I would like to know if there is any interest out there in starting
a news group about handicapped people.
My 2 1/2 year old son, Alexander, has Down's Syndrome so naturally I
would be most interested in articles about handicapped children and
particulary about children with Down's. But there are many areas which
are common to all handicapped people of all ages (physical and/or mental
handicaps) and I feel that a news group about all handicapped people
would be helpful to both handicapped people themselves as well as
relatives and friends.
Please feel free to either respond to me directly via e-mail or to
post an article. In either case, I will present some sort of summary
in several weeks, and if there is enough interest, I will try to get
the new group started.

--Even though I am generally against posting one article to more than
one news group, I am posting this article to several groups that
seem appropriate since this is an important issue to me.
--Some people object to the word handicapped. If you are one of these
people, please dont flame me. Instead tell me a better way to say it.
