Hi Thomas - I'll take a stab at this one... My opinion is that with 60 million people who stutter in the world (give or take), there is room for a whole lot of different opinions about the condition. I know that many people follow Tom's blog and benefit from it. That's great. There are other people who follow and benefit from input from other people. I think there's room for all. For some of these issues (many?), where the answers are not clear-cut, I hate to say that one source might be correct and another incorrect... Of course, sometimes that's true, but so much of our field (and any scientific or clinical field) involves shades of grey. That means that there must be room for more than one opinion. So, bottom line? The more (reasonable) sources of information, the better, because different people will benefit from different sources. We have much to learn, and the more we can all work together to share ideas in a collaborative fashion, the more we will all learn. Just my $.02. - S
