Sorry, but since you have singled yourself out to specifically answer, what exactly are you answering? It is common curtasy to answer e- mails. What if they stop answering phone calls too? If you have a product you should support it. As far as how long it takes, who cares how long it takes? You have always carried your responses in a do it yourself/read the help/ don't you already know/ duhh, stupid short answer kinda way. I have seen on numerous occasions a new switcher or potential switcher ask a question and we will break our necks to tell them how great the Mac is, but when someone ask a simple question that you know the answer to, you tell them it is obvious. You can't call Apple and get tech help with VO nor can you e-mail them. They have the same views as most of the people on this list and that is that it is in a manual, in help or on the net so go find it. If someone talks bad about Apple you all get mad and tell them to creteec there message to put the Mac and VO in the best light possible instead of letting them have there own view. I research for a living and on my free time I use my Mac and often times turn to you guys for a quick answer. I turn to you because you have already done the research. I turn to you because I need your help and you talk down to people who ask a question. My question to both David and Sheryl in particular, is why?

I'm answering this one. How much time is it taking, how much time does it take to research a problem, write up the solution,.

I don't respond to emails when the solution to the issue is evident.

There is no excuse for not answering e-mails no matter the company or status, bug fixes or not. If you submit a e-mail that is valid, understandable and related to a issue, problem or praise. The proper thing at a minimum is to respond. Trust me that accessibility e-mail address is not the forum that the developers are reading. Not responding to e-mails is ridiculous

If you were sitting in there seat and had a choice of responding to messages all day or fixing bugs, what would you do?

Hello Rich and list,
I'd like to make an observation regarding my experiences with Apple's Accessibility Group.
Never in the numerous times that I've written to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
have I ever got a responce. It would be better for someone to respond to email, than to never respond. I know that a few people have received replies from Apple's Accessibility group, but I sure never have. It kind of gives the appearance that they don't want anything to do with the customers who use Apple's products, in particular, VoiceOver or any other accessibility applications.

I want to file a bug / suggestion with Apple, specifically related to
Safari, VoiceOver, and Webkit. Should I simply send eMail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], or should I goto the webkit.org site and use their
bug tracking system?

I guess what I'm really asking is: which software is controling the behavior I see with respect to VoiceOver and the web (Safari, Webkit, or VoiceOver)? I assume that there is no simple answer to this question, and that to some
extent all three are involved.

A related question: if I send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], are there guidelines or a certain form the message must follow, aside from the usual: include specific version numbers of all components, provide test cases, be clear about what the problem is, and provide clear steps to reproduce?

Thanx much in advance.
