As per my response to another e-mail sent by you to another Talks list, i an
interested on an open forum why you choose to inform us that for ethical and
moral reasons you will not be signing the condolence book for Torsten Brand, at
Neil's invitation. You go on to tell us or rather to inform us that you have
been in direct communication with Nuance to convey your personal condolences ue
Torston's family. An earlier e-mail from yourself as I recall informed us that
you had only recently come to hear of Torston and his excellent contribution to
Talks and its invaluable effect on blind mobile users of Talks. I cannot help
thinking you wished to convey to us your personal ability to convey directly
with Nuance, why else inform us publically of your direct communication with
the company?

Hello,
Thank you for this notification and I'd just like to say I think the
sentiment is a noble one and one I'm sure Torsten's family will appreciate.
For moral and ethical reasons I will not be signing the book myself, but
have already engaged with Nuance who will relay my individual letter of
condolence and a donation to Torsten's family directly.
Thanks again, and all the best for your venture.

Subject: [talks-uk] Torsten Brand - Condolence Book and Memorial Fund
Importance: High
Dear All,
For those of you who are not at this time aware of the tragic passing of
Torsten Brand, the pioneer behind Nuance Talks and the inspiration for years
for many of us has most sadly died aged 47 years owing to complications
during a routine operation.
With Nuance's blessing a Book of Condolence together with a Memorial Fund in
his memory has been established in his honour and memory and we would ask
anyone who has benefited from this unique and talented individuals
dedication and efforts to sign the book.
Once completed we shall have the entries printed and passed to Torsten's
family along with the funds from the Memorial Fund.
If you wish to sign and / or make a donation please visit:
www.talknav.com/torsten
Thank you in advance for your support and efforts.
Kind regards.
Neil Barnfather.
