Cathy,
I, too, have noticed that the messages on this board tend to be very well written. Even when it is obvious that English is not our friend's primary language, the grammar seems good and the thoughts are easy to follow. A comprehensive survey would be interesting, but begs the question: "Do cluster headaches cause good composition?" My gut feeling is that it isn't education we share, it's a gift. I have several unfortunate friends who suffer CH, who never finished high school and work in the building trades. Their communication skills are excellent though! Math skills are lacking, but I think it is due to lack of education. Who knows? As you said, it's curious. Maybe just one more reason to know we're special. Pain Free Days, Dave
