cool! thought that may be the case. maybe you would be interested in checking out my blog about disability rights/culture/pride: http://community.disaboom.com/community/philosophercrip/default.aspx.
The site that hosts it may be of interest in itself. It is a bit "medical model" for my tastes but definitely gets a lot of PWDs together talking to each other, which is always a good thing.
