I've tried to keep a low profile on this topic, but finally I think it's time to wind it down, since it appears to be heading into realms similar to religion and politics, and is becoming personal to boot. And of course as the old reporters' adage goes, "Never let the truth get in the way of a good story!" Either which way, it is wandering away from the main purpose of this list, which is to help people use access technology as efficiently as possible. There are lists for discussing general matters where the topic may best be covered in detail if people wish. So let's end it there guys please, and get back to technical turkey. George Bell.

I'll be more than happy to bowe to him on this one though because he owns a business and, A. has more experience than me in these matters. B. If the crap hit the fan because of comments made about Freedom Scientific in this case he'd be hit harder than I. As far as your comments about people can say what they want? BCAB have been allowing this conversation to continue and I strongly suspect if liable was a concern they'd be all over it. At no point did I say it was OK to discuss whatever one felt and say whatever one felt about any company access catagorised or otherwise. Yes we're based in the UK an do have liable laws but this IMHO does not mean that we have to be sensoring every single thing people say like Communist China! George, it's over to you on this. I really think Derek's being quite argumentitive here for the sake of being so...
