I was thinking about this "Turette Syndrome" tech. Is there any way that you
know for sure he has TS? I always thought TS expressed itself _vocally_,
thus making it impossible for the speaker to reword or edit the words
already spoken. In writng a message, there's lots of opportunity to edit or
change. It's not very "spontaneous" or "unpredictable". Just thinking about
it.

There's no way I could know for certain. The subject has been discussed in
the techie NG, and the guy confirmed that he had it. Not that it
necessarily means anything. Yes, he swore it was true. ;-)

As to the limitation re vocalizing, I thought so too, until I read:
<http://www.ncf.carleton.ca/ip/sigs/life/disability/faq/turette>. It led
me to think otherwise given the penchant for releasing angst, etc.

I don't really have an answer to your question, you &^% ()*&*#$. :-)
