I've never had a problem either but we had a problem in reverse here several 
years ago.  We had a blind ham in the area who, unfortunately, was very good 
at making a royal pain of himself.  He was constantly asking other hams for 
things like putting up antennas and lending him equipment and he could get 
rather insistant about it.  He ended up leaving a bad taste in the mouths of 
the local hams.  Thankfully, for us, he has left the area and I hope he has 
grown up a little since then.  We have enough trouble projecting a positive 
image in the sighted world without guys like that.  Lou
