Charles, you cannot uniformly dismiss every single bit of research I 
have cited and call it "non-existant" because you don't happen to 
believe it was "scientific."  You have no idea what methods were used in 
any of the studies since you did no investigating.  It is unreasonable 
for you to say that the arguments I have put forth here are unconvincing 
because the research I cite is worthless.  Please give me some examples, 
and be specific.  Don't you really mean that you have no confidence in 
any of information I have shared here regarding Whole Language and 
approximated spellings and this "no confidence" is based on what you 
have read and heard from others?  And isn't it probably true that you 
began this discussion with hostility toward both those concepts?  Hardly 
a fair hearing.
