Chris, you make many valid points for a person who stutters who has his/her stuttering under control. BUT, there is a certain amount of smugness in your writing. You have your stuttering under control, but how about those among you who do not have the ego and control you seem to espouse? Are you saying "all you have to do is try harder and put on a smiling face and all will be better and get on with life?!" A rather simplistic approach to those who still struggle with their stuttering and who want to still find the ability to talk better. I think that to some your mountain top is still a struggle to climb and I find a strong degree of smugness in your article. You are there, but don't think that others can follow you by following your simplistic approach to life. Smile, be happy, stop feeling sorry for yourself, talk better, try harder and all will be swell. Oh well, it works for you but dont look down your nose from your mountain top on those who still are finding the path. Jerry
