Scott McGinnis:  This inquiry RE Differences between heritage and
non-heritage learners is the most interesting I have seen in more than a
year, if not the only one that is truly relevant to to the Forum
"heritage-list".   Can you leave it on the air for a while just to see
which direction it takes?  All the best,
