Hi Chris,

I was just about to make the same request that Gerald has made. When I find a quoted message at the top of a post, I usually delete it right away because it is so cumbersome, with a screen reader, to get down to the new message. I have no problem with including a quoted message after your reply as it might be helpful to some readers, but can be easily ignored by others.

Please note that I changed the subject line as well. I wish someone had done so, much earlier in this thread, to something like "Games for blind computer users," for example.

   Thanks,

   Don

Could you put your message at the beginning of the message field? It would make it a lot easier to read your messages.

dot dot dot and describing how to play these farmville and superpoke pets games are related to JAWS, how?

In fact, why doesn't someone start a list called Blind-Social-Networking or something, that could handle Facebook, MySpace, lulu, youtube, Twitter, Fetlife, and a myriad others.
