I think you are right in your observation about the readers of this discussion group, and I want to offer the opinion that therein lies a potential problem. You are describing the crucial relationship of text variables to learner variables. The point is that the two are inseparable when considering comprehension. A "balanced concern" for both sides of the equation is important, that is, we know that communication is far more than writing techniques. A truism we should not take for granted. Of course, the listserv can be whatever the readers want to make it. But you made me stop and examine my own focus for a moment, and it is appreciated. Debbie Deborah W.
