I think it would help to make it not for just JAWS users but for everyone.
There are other screenreader packages out there and it shouldn't just be
exclusive to JAWS. I've found more often than not if you have a question
and you're not sure where to go, what you might like to do is send an
e-mail to the list owner and ask if something would be ok to post. If it
is, go ahead and post it there. If not, the list owner can reccomend an
appropriate list to post your question too and it just saves everyone a
whole lot of grief. It keeps the off topic posts away and that pleases the
list owner and those of us who don't want to read off topic stufff. I do
agree with Jack that we're all in this together and if you can help someone
it is really a great thing. But there are ways to do it and if you do it
the right way you can please a lot more people and get the answer you need.
