[RUME] Style when reporting interview data



Hi All -

I have a question about appropriate style when reporting interview data in a
paper.  My take on it is that by recording student hesitations, misspeaks etc,
I am presenting the evidence and allowing the reader to decide whether the
evidence supports my interpretation.  On the other hand a reviewer's comment on
a paper I am working on suggests that including all of this makes it difficult
to read, and I do take that point. What is appropriate style in presenting
interview data?  I'd appreciate advice and comments on this!
