I'm an odd one - no cracks from the cheap seats!

Snip interesting rant.

And being dyslexic, I taught myself to compensate so that I
normally read at 2000 words per minute with 85% comprehension. I
can skim at upwards of 3k wpm.

As a fellow dyslexic I feel for you. Back in the late forties - early
fifties when I was in school we were just classified as stupid. Lord how
tired I got of being told that. In an article in the readers Digest many
years latter I found my self going "I know how that feels" after reading the
description of dyslexia. I managed to get a BS in accounting, but work as a
programmer and am rapidly approaching retirement so I'm not some dumb after
all, although I sometimes can't express myself well. Margarite
