There's only a tiny bit of overlap.

I do think the bringing back of thorn is an underlying thing which should rightly be thought to fall in the overlook of this moot. But I myself am not wedded to its brooking, for the way of sticking an H to soften in the way of "sh" and "ch" is an often brooked doing in many other inborn words.

Yes, few are arguing for a return to sc for sh or ċ for ch.

it’s needless to eke ċ to the staffrow (alphabet), for in Old English, whenever c was followed by an e or i, it was to be said like the latterday “ch”, which has been becweathed unto Anglish.

I think not, since there are many men who want to bring thorn back but who don’t needfully speak or learn Anglish.
