Hi Teddy,
There is certainly a place on this list for pointing out problems with a
certain program or development package. This is especially true where these
problems effect accessability. Such information can help the rest of us to
stay away from software that we will not be able to use, or even better,
start making it accessable by our effort.
What I object to is remarks on this list being personal and negative. I do
not believe that such remarks belong on this list or help anyone here in any
way.
Regards,
Jim

If the negative messages should be avoided, I agree, I think it would be an
excelent idea, but in that case the positive message should also be avoided.
I won't say anything bad about a program, but if I see that somebody says
something good about a program I don't like, I also want to have the same
rights to express what I think and tell why I don't like it.
It is simple.
