Hi David, In my opinion, this list is not close to have run its course. I think that right now we are in a smooth sailing period with JAWS and most of the commonly used applications and no one is running into major issues. Of course you have faced the problem with mail compatibility, so I am not sure how many users that has impacted. I do think as soon as JAWS18 officially hits the streets there will be an increase in traffic, as well as when updates to commonly used products become available.
I personally am very appreciative of the hard work and effort you and the team put into keeping this list up and running. I've learned a lot, and try to pay it back by contributing whenever possible. This list fills a gap that is not able to be filled by FS/VFO Technical Support on many levels. Please no one take that as a slam to FS/VFO. Thank you David & Team!

Granted Microsoft has blocked out this domain and earlier this year road runner did the same thing. Also in the past com cast and others have done the same. It might be possible that the list has run its’ course. It is 11 years old this week as a matter of fact which I find hard to believe myself. Let’s see how things go for a while before any major decisions are made so don’t anybody panic at this point. I am just expressing my concern about the way things have dropped off so much. It had to happen sooner or later. The fact is I have no idea how long the average email list stays in business, I suppose that would be an interesting study. Now to sit back and see what kind of response this message generates. David Ferrin You don't have to be crazy to run a list like this, but it does help.
