Hi Ricardo,

What I meant to say and said it very badly, is, that I don't think that it is a 
problem, but, is a normal function of Voiceover.  I did not mean to say that it 
should not be discussed here, but, that I don't believe that it is a problem, 
as a matter of fact, it may be helpful.  Maybe I have explained my comments a 
little better.
