I do apologise Steve.
Amro Bilal asked a question.
I gave a possible answer.
Sorry.

Derek, you can jump down from your high horse, I'm simply trying to
give a
rational logical point which, yes, I am perfectly entitled to give.
As the
person who originally started this group up over 15 years ago, I think
I
have some working experience of what I'm talking about! Anyone is
entitled
to set up a group and good luck to them! However, from all the
various
other so called tech groups that have been set up over the many years,
how
many of them are still going? This group was set up for the very
purpose of
general assistive technology. I think I'm right in assuming that it
is
still the biggest tech group. Does that tell you anything?
Freedom of choice? Perhaps that's appropriate in context of buying
things
but it's totally irrelevant to this situation. It's not freedom of
choice
we want, it's accurate concise information, not confusion and
frustration
from a plethora of lists.
Steve

because then people have freedom of choice.
It's like why are there so many dealers selling same or similar I.T
kit
for the blind, visually impaired.
Do we really need so many companies?

Precisely Steve. So the question is: why?

Great, one thing though, how many times do we need to reinvent the
wheel?
Do you not think that yet another tech group just breaks down and
fragments
the amount of quality information we get from a one central resource?
Or, does your group specialise in something specific to do with screen
readers?
