Andy I think that you are utterly and fundamentally wrong and, if I may say
so, somewhat selfish in your opinion. Lists need strict boundaries on what
can and cannot be discussed or they become somewhat unfocused and they then
lose their value as people with any knowledge get fed up with reading
irelevant messages and go somewhere else. I understand this list to be
about accessing a wide range of technology from the perspective of visually
impaired people. That is surely a wide enough brief. If you broaden things
out too far then the list becomes a general discussion list. This was a
problem with the JFW lite list which really should have kept on the subject
of JAWS. I joined this list briefly about 3 years ago I believe and saw a
long running thread about the difficulties of sight loss and coming to terms
with it. This is important but nothing to do with jaws and I do think
having to read lots of irrelevant messages just drives people away.
Regards
Graham

Hi Philip.
Why do we need to be so strict and tied like other American lists.
I've been a member of this list almost since it started and yes, we can
usually drift away from access issues onto any topic, in order to reach out
to other visually impaired people and offer advice, support or guidance.
You don't get this in the states or indeed, within similar UK lists. That's
what makes this list so special and welcoming, people can ask just about
anything, within reason of course.
I believe that this list is similar to the JAWSLite list which has
unfortunately closed down after the death of the Moderator, and if it ever
came that we were forced to remain so rigidly on topic, then I'd quid.
I love British lists and feel that our communities are way ahead of other
American, Canadian and Australian lists. So anyway, do you know the answer
to my original question or not.
Best wishes.
Andy
