 Ted,

        Another off-list reply.  God blesses the world with a few great ones 
like this one you describe, but as we both know, they are the rarest of the 
rare.  When I see people post things along the lines that only the blind should 
teach the blind, or only someone who has had sight and become blind should 
teach those who are in that circumstance all I can do is think, "What in 
heaven's name are you thinking?!!  You'll be lucky if you meet a couple of 
people who have the entire combination of attributes and talents to do what you 
propose in your lifetime.  If you want to stick only to them you're just 
determined to ignore the many other resources that exist. Don't!!"
