Not to take it out on Harold particularly, but this is the 2nd time, in a
very short period, there have been comments on this list that are
condescending towards those who do not find this type of exercise "easy" to
do in their heads. I have a math disability and *my* brain is not "quite
capable of doing so" without a great deal of struggle. Perhaps the people
asking for the tools are in similar situations, possibly not, but could the
list *please* remember that handicaps and talents come in various sizes for
various people. Having a disability does not make one less intelligent, and
the non-accepting attitude portrayed here of other ways to accomplish tasks
is making me very uncomfortable.

Thanks for your understanding,
