The long and the short of it is, choice is a good thing. I personally long 
ago figured out that I prefer the block quotes off. I like to go in, get 
my information as quickly as possible, and go back out again. But I 
understand how some people might prefer such announcing on. It's like the 
whole on-mouseover fiasco of a few months back. Some of us just didn't 
like it, others swore by it. The provision for choice is a wonderful 
aspect of JAWS's flexibility.
