[wp-forums] help w/a support topic (Jackie McBride)

[Jackie McBride]

Glenn, thanks so much. I'm really conflicted about disclosing my
blindness, as I'm kind of afraid the person I'm helping might lose
confidence in my abilities once they find out, though you'd think by
the time it came to light they'd already figure out I know what I'm
doing despite my loss of eyesight. Some peoples' attitudes are so
deeply ingrained, though, they'll never change, evidence contrary to
their belief systems notwithstanding. I personally don't care if folks
know--I'm quite comfortable in my own skin, & my lack of eyesight is
just part of that. But your idea about being unable to view images at
work is 1 I hadn't thought of, & it's great.

Thanks so much again for your input, & I appreciate your welcoming me
into the support community. It's good to know that the support givers
can get support sometimes, too. As a newbie to the forums, I've been
trying to keep out of the way, maintain a low profile, stay out of
trouble, & generally not step on any1's toes. But the request that I
look at a screenshot rather blew my cover, & I wasn't certain how to
handle it. I'm glad I didn't do anything wrong.
