what I said is what I said and should not be taken out of context. I
asked some relevant questions about the post. I did not use the word
rude in my message, I did not think rude. I just asked a couple of
questions about the post?
Thanks for answering them.

Hey again David, sorry, but I must disagree here. If a message
author isn't clear in what they're writing about, and if what they're
writing about is a technical term, then how in the world are people
whom aren't familiar with that term supposed to know what is being
discussed?…
In the case that just happened, I needed to assume, go Googling and
then look down the thread to see if that was in fact what was meant.
If someone is unwilling to take just a minute or two to make sure
their note is correct especially when talking about a really specific
(exact) term, it makes it the reader's responsibility to then try to
figure out what they mean. I'm personally on this list for info and
to contribute where I can, not to try to second-guess people or
decipher poorly written one-liners when all it would take to be just a
bit more considerate would simply be to use a spell checker or
dictionary to see that your terms and such are right?…
<smile> This isn't rocket-science, and it's not me being rude
either. I'm really sorry if people feel insulted, but to a degree,
this is just common courtesy.
As Chris mentioned, I'm not expecting every note here to be a poetic
treatise of literary perfection. <smile> but I would really love to
be able to follow each one without a whole lot of research. lol!
Yes, this is just an email list afterall, and this was just one
simple little request on my part. My apologies if it bothers people.
-And, as I said, I'm more than happy to thank Alex for his kind
response, you, for your notes, and simply move on and keep future such
requests off list.
Thanks again and have a terrific day!…
Smiles,
Cara :)

David, Cara, etc. what's wrong with taking an extra couple seconds
to make sure you are expressing yourself in simple easily understood
English?
Cara isn't the only person to sometimes wonder what someone is
trying to say on here. No, obviously it doesn't have to be perfect
- this is only an insignificant message posted to the Internet after
all - but the the more you put into getting your point across,
clearly and concisely, the less everybody else has to struggle
figuring it out.
Thanks for litsenign

would you mind droping a private note to complain? would you mind
looking up what you don't understand? Would you mind being a bit
more
curtious on the list?

Hey alex, would you mind possibly using a spell checker / dictionary
on your notes?… I ask, as I had no idea what you meant by 'oral'
CSS. I know what CSS are, and I thought you meant 'aural' but I
wasn't sure if you really did or if that was a typo?…
It took me reading ahead in the thread to catch the meaning.
I'm not meaning to come off as rude or single you out here, as it
seems like a great many people on this list and others really don't
take any time / care to spell properly or use correct homophones, (as
in there and their) but as I said, I just didn't understand the
meaning of your note.
Anyway, regardless of this, thanks for the bug reports and will
check them out on this end too! Rock on and have a great evening!…
Smiles,
Cara :)

Hi,
I kow a few people have been wondering wh some webpages have worked
when coppied into Text Edit and not in Safari/Webkit. This is
because VO won't read items inside containers that use CSS "Padding:
4px;", or greater.
Also, on another note: Voiceover does not obey oral CSS, which is
really frustrating.
Can someone file these bugs, plese, as I have no experiance filing
bugs.
Thanks for listening,
Alex,
