[JAWSLite] Re: -----SPAM----- Re: enter the text in the box

I'm not knocking anyone here.  I choose to use IE and I don't like firefox. 
If they don't choose to make an IE plugin then thats fine.  That isn't going 
to make me run out and get firefox though. I respect webvisems contributions 
and hope everyone that chooses to use it enjoys it.

Blast away elf,.

Rick

statement, fa,

I'll let it drop here, since if I say anything more I'll either be flaming,
or get angry and blast them.
