Mind posting a URL to what you're referring to? I know FS has resource information posted on their site about various JAWS lists and other resources, but that's not something they can expect a majority of JAWS owners to find, and certainly doesn't cover them. Better would be to have their own resource that they allow registered users to subscribe to for any products they have with FS, and then do nothing on that list but send out announcements of upcoming SMA renewal for that customer, or posts from FS about updates or info on upcoming release dates. Posting it on a list like this one, when I might need to unsubscribe or turn off message delivery because I don't want my Inbox flooded all the time isn't a solution. I like solutions that make sense, and I like answers to posts that say something useful as opposed to your "they do post on their web." which tells me absolutely nothing useful. -Greg Epley ----- Original Message ----- From: "david poehlman" <poehlman1@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, April 28, 2004 2:11 PM Subject: Re: jaws 5.1 > they do post on their web. > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Greg Epley" <gregepley@xxxxxxxxxx> > > To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > > Sent: Wednesday, April 28, 2004 2:57 PM > > Subject: Re: jaws 5.1 > > > > > > The only problem with that approach is that I've been on and off this list > > at times.
