Hi Victoria, I don't think Charles and I were arguing, and I don't think I blew him down as you put it. You have to realize we were only having a conversation, which shows we respect each others comments. it's much worse to put something out on TABI and just have it completely ignored by everyone. Just so you understand, I did not disagree with Charles. it was implied by his question that he had trouble believing that statement, and what did other people think of that claim? I *agreed* with Charles that I thought the statement (the claim that all learning was 80% visual) was not correct; that we all adapted our learning process and kept right on learning. so, it's ok; and it would have been ok if I had disagreed with Charles as well; that's what conversation is all about.

I know that you might not post this and you might take me off the list but when I read something I have the right to give my own thoughts. There have been some important issues posted and I have learned something's from the different post as well but when Charles say something there is always a comment from you. I know that you are the moderator but give the man a brake. And Charles I know that we have to be humble but not all of the time hold your end up and keep on going you are to intelligent to let you integrity taken away from you.

It was just one of those, everyday commonly dynamic diversions or alludings used just for the purpose of blowing up the point of having our eyes tested! Not actually factual! Ok! I just don't want anything with such public exposure discrediting the good quality and talents surviving and functioning in our population. Thanks Chip!

If this is really so, how is it these people on Tabi that's been blind since childhood, so amazingly, smart? Was there a study covering this? Charles
