You are correct. Once you are holding conversations at 25 wpm and above it
is counterproductive to write the entire conversation. I f you are taking
traffic that is different. My directions to Ms Hutton were to help her gain
whatever
speed she desires a little sooner. I also have trouble "head copying" at
less than 15 wpm.

          "But to get into the meat of a conversation, you are just
skimming, unless you have hard copy. "


        Not to be contrary and I'm respectful of your background Danny, but
I disagree. I have regular conversations with a good friend (and others)
keyboarding at 55 to 75wpm and we just "head read" just as you would
conducting a normal conversation. Writing it down would be
counterproductive, but I do find that at "normal" QRS speeds the data rate
is so slow that I almost have to jot it down as its difficult to follow the
senders train of thought. I would also make an exception for transcribing
numerical data or other "odd" text.
