This question seems to have hit a nerve for some people. This was one the few posts I have made so far that has sparked a stimulating, on-going discussion among multiple participants. Someone else even wrote an excellent blog post about it, [...]
A few hours ago, I announced a new blog site created by a deaf-blind writer, Christine (aka “Coco” or “TactileJunkie” 
(http://reunifygally.wordpress.com/2007/01/11/deaf-blind-blog-christines-tactile-the-world/). And a month ago, I made a point of linking to Jamie Berke’s page listing Deaf Latino web sites.
