Thanks guys. I am glad that it may give some people inspiration to strive. I have met many other stutterers who have achieved so much more though. I do not have any videos of my teaching but I hear a rumour that they are thinking about enforcing podcasts of lecturers possibly in the near future. That will be a challenge educationally and fluency wise.

Seems like you've turned a weakness into a strength of sorts--that's probably the best kind of compliment we can be given in life...especially as stutterers.
I've always intentionally put myself in situations where I have to deal with my stutter; the latest example being teaching Sunday school. More than once, people have come up to me and said something along the lines of how the stutter sort of made them concentrate/appreciate what I had to say. Regardless of any of this, I'd rather not stutter. That said, if I have to stutter, I'd much rather follow examples like yours, Grant. Congrats.
