I just want to apologize to you all because I think I am one of the ones who has posted some off topic messages. I like the suggestion about putting OT in the subject line and will do that if I post something not related to voiceover.
Thanks for keeping me on my toes. smile

Hi Neal,

As for me, I would think that this is a Voiceover question.

Neal, I don't want to drive this thing in to the ground, I am just trying to get us all to filter our messages before they go out on the list, ok?

Hi Keith. It seems to me that, especially for beginners like myself, it is sometimes hard to know if you are asking a VoiceOver question as apposed to
a general Mac question.  Take my following post for example.


Hi all, Do I just have a slow computer? On the BCT page, if I press control option command H to go to headers, it takes about 5 seconds to get to each header. When I try to bring up a link list, it takes about 30 seconds. Anyone else have this problem? I'm guessing my Mac Mini is not the fastest kid on the planet? Thanks. And thanks for the help on finding
the preferences.

Now, I have no clue if this is caused by VoiceOver, or if it is a general Mac question. I would certainly agree that it doesn't teach people about using VoiceOver directly, but if there are problems regarding slow- downs that perhaps result when using VoiceOver, this is, I think, a question that
VoiceOver users need to know.

So, tell me where the thin line is here and I will be happy to abide.

Thanks for dealing with this issue.

Neal

Subject: [macvoiceover] IMPORTANT! FROM THE LIST ADMIN, off topic messages,
please read!

Hi folks,

Boy, I hate to write these kind of messages.

Last week we had several hundred messages come over the list and several of
them according to the list guidelines were off topic.

First of all, lets take a look at what we are trying to do with this list and that is to learn and USE Voiceover with the MAC, so when you write your message, ask your self, does this have anything to do with learning and using Voiceover with the MAC? If it does not, please put the letters "OT" for offtopic, in the subject line, so that the rest of us can choose to read
it or not.

Folks, please help me with this. This list has become a great place to learn about Voiceover, but, we can't learn with helpful messages intermixed
with off topic messages.

This list will soon reach 100 members and we can be a help to many if we
will just stay with in the guidelines.

Thank you so much.

Keith Reedy, list admin
