But, to be honest, it caught me completely off guard when someone gave me information (I really got excited when someone replies so soon and with such good info) and then asked for money, with no prior agreement to do so.

That's not exactly correct. Maybe you should go back and reread my original post. Focus on which parts that were directed to you, and which were directed to the general public.

While he/she does that, the rest of you can read what I believe to be is the main source of conflict here:

How Do You Know? A Strategy to Help Emergent Readers Make Inferences(excerpt)
Journal article by Janet C. Richards, Nancy A. Anderson; The Reading Teacher, Vol. 57, 2003

Helping emergent readers

In our work with young students, we often note that they do not generate inferences naturally and spontaneously. They can usually deduce information from one segment of the text, but they fail to integrate it with implied information in other parts of the story or in storybook illustrations. Often, emergent readers experience problems because of text constraints, such as syntactic or vocabulary difficulty (Dewitz & Dewitz, 2003). Their underdeveloped reasoning abilities, lack of prior knowledge for story content, or overdependence on prior knowledge that causes them to invent plausible but inaccurate answers also may create barriers to comprehension (Anderson & Pearson, 1984; Dewitz & Dewitz, 2003; Neuman, 1990; Trabasso & Suh, 1993).

Unga, Jonesey, Vamp: Thanks for the paypal payments! Today I went to Jack in the Box and got two of those $1 big cheeseburgers with the money. That's probably all the food I need today and I still have $1 left for tomorrow! I'm thinking I'll change things up a bit tomorrow and go for the $1.29 Big Hamburger at Carl's Jr. All I need is 29 cents more...Maybe someone else has a question I could answer? Right now I'm running a New Year's Day 70% off sale. One tiki question* answered for only 30 cents. (*Please, no mug questions. Try Ooga Moogainstead.)
