Mike
can you please stop patronising us. If you don't want this to go on
then you don't have to participate in the discussion buddy.
A year at lawschool doesn't suddenly make you an attorney and a
village elder rolled in one.
God bless
John

Alan makes some salient points here -- and he speaks from experience.
From here on out, what happens -- or doesn't -- will be directed by legal
counsel not popular whim, what feels good, and all the rest.
GWmicro will do as instructed by their attorney(s), and what they say (or
do not say), what they do (or not do) will be the result, in large part,
to that guidance.
And don't forget something else Alan mentioned; a long period of
discovery.
You may not hear anything on this for months or years; and one day, you
will quietly read or hear of a resolution without much public explanation
or amplification.
So maybe we, as customers, need to return our focus on getting our screen
readers to work better for us and do anything only if asked by GWmicro to
do so.
Otherwise, users, well intentioned as they may be, could create more
problems than they resolve.
Stuff like this takes time; and if users will have a role to play, if any,
there will be plenty of time for it.
