I kind of feel deprived that I may not duchen! I can follow the tune
better than 90% of the kohanim who DO duchen and splitting my fingers
[unlike typing] :-) has never posed a challenge to me!

I have even learned some basic kavvanos of birkas kohanim.  
So I aske
"Why may I not duchen?"

[PS - I have 250 colleagues eager to know! :-)]
