Actually, AquaBlue, to title a thread "hearies only" on a deaf message board could very well be perceived as offensive. Historically, the deaf community has been oppressed by what the "hearies" think is best for them, rather than having been treated as autonomous, capable people that are able to determine their own needs. Not a criticism, just a suggestion for perhaps a change in language.
