Talking of sign... those constructivists out there interested in the
sign world might like to join sign-speak, a list devoted to the
interface between the signing and speaking cultures. To join, send a
message to:
lists@psyctc.sghms.ac.uk
saying:
join sign-speak

in the body of the message. While I'm on this theme (!), those
interested in family therapy could send:
join aft
and those interested in therapeutic communities could send:
join atc

Best wishes all (again!, and more cheerily!)
