I couldn't agree more!
I'd like for this list to be taken seriously again. But that's not gonna
happen until people actually take the time to learn and educate themselves
about JAWS a little more. Sure there's a whole bunch of stuff I don't know,
I'm no expert especially when it comes to scripting. But I do take the
time to listen to the training materials and read the help topics when i
don't know how a feature works. and if I'm still a bit stuck that's when
the list comes in. The list should be something you use when you've tried a
lot of things but it just isn't clicking, or if you just have no idea about
something and just need a bit of guidance.

Maybe, if more individuals took the time and made the effort to learn their screen-reader, there would definitely be less complaining.
As a result, One of the main benefits might be that Freedom Scientific may once again take this list more seriously and make a point of posting developments and news, directly to this list, instead of us getting the information second, third or even fourth hand.
A further benefit might be that some of the employees from Freedom scientific would consider re-joining the list, with the result that we, as users of JAWS for windows, would all benefit from their experience, knowledge and expertise. I am certain, there is no one on this list who would turn up their noses at that, now would they!

Dave Durber
