I cannot read or write. The spastic flailing of my hands and fingers have, by complete chance, taken me to this community and written every post I have ever constructed. Any response to the post of another user has only seemed that way, reached through pure coincidence by a cosmically unlikely series of muscle contractions. This post is no exception., jfkdsfajdkslfdkslafjdlksamfng ewaoifjhewoialf ewaea h
