I agree, and have only observed this issue among blind computer users. I work with sighted computer users, and when they have problems, they ask someone and someone helps them. I have never heard some of the snarky comments that I read on these lists, which are supposedly here to provide support.

Any article you find online, and definitely anything I publish online, contains a link to the webpage where each quotation or other documentary support is to be found. Why this insistence that blind computer users go to the extra trouble of finding a link when someone has already done so? I appreciate Mike B's practice of saving us time after he's gone and found FS download links, and in the past I've done the same when he hasn't gotten around to it. Time matters. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of zoe fiogkos Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2016 5:38 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] [Bulk] Re: Jaws 17 update is released You know there are people with learning disabilities, and also people who don't speak very good English.

Jaws 17 released date today link, press enter. Follow the information that the F S web site gives you. A user of the Jaws program needs to know how to use the Freedom Scientific web site, its easy . If everyone keeps giving them the links, they will not learn how to use the site themselves. For a person just starting out, I can see helping them, by emailing them the download link off the list. But I see the same people asking for the Jaws links year after year, this is being lazy. Please learn how to use the freedom scientific web site for your own good. Love God! with your heart, mind, and soul, that you might be blessed reaching His goal. Love your Neighbor as you would yourself, God will truly reward you with good health. Love God, your neighbor, as you love yourself, you will then be spiritually balanced with wealth. Love His Word that proceeds from His lips, then reflect on the heavens where God sits.
