Very good point, Botts. It is why I read certain threads and categories. I suppose others do the same. 
And, unfortunately, some of those same parents have been the subject of unrelenting nitpicking here. I mean, we are deaf, yes, but we're not dumb. We are capable of seeing through the agenda that some posters have. I suspect many have picked up on this as well, and don't bother socializing. I wouldn't, either.
