Dear Bob & Tim-

I have read carefully both of your recent messages. Thanks for them. I
note that you both join in a recommendation that I

"identify a particular case, and offer your "languaging"
interpretation. You may find others agreeing with you on the case level,
which might put them in a similar "constructivist" paradigm, even when
they don't follow Flores all the way up the hill he climbs.

I would be happy to do this, but I would prefer it if one or both of you
would suggest a 'case' for me to comment upon, from the constructivist
perspective I have learned about.

Would that be okay with either/both of you?
