And isnt it interesting that we in this hobby are encouraged to help others out all we can, unless they have a disability in which case don't insult them by offering a hand let them do it themselves. treating a person like they are "normal" means offering a hand and advice. It means bending over backwards to help a student learn to fly.

Agexpert is right on one count however. We shouldn't do these things for the pat on our own backs. We shouldn't discuss them for the shower of rose pedals. However I don't see this as the case here, but merely opening a dialogue that may help to encourage people that may have thought there was no way to enter the hobby.
