Hi all this is really funny. How did the NFB get involved in this. In fact I did send the blog entry to the CA list saying it should be looked in to but so far as I know neither NFB nor ACB has taken a position. So people that have an axe to grind against one or the other organization come out here and spew. In fact if you want to spew it's GW micro that told us about this knowing full well the reaction it would have. I don't have a problem with GW-micro informing us in fact I support Doug for this but it's ludicrious to use this as an oportunity to grandstand against the ACB which I am not a member of nor the NFB which I choose to be a member of your mixing apples and oranges. We have blind whiners in both organizations and we have blind whiners who belong to no organization. Lots of blind folks feel sorry for themselves. So do lots of normal folks.
so what.
If you want to be a member of an organization do it if you want to support gw in this lawsuit same if you don't have a great life and use the technology you need hopefully without inappropriate attacks on others.
Mike

Get real. I have subscribed to this list to hear information about how to
make my window-eyes experience better.  Not to listen to a whole lot of
hopeless rants about what I would do if it were me, lets get together and do
this, lets sign a virtual petition and show them.  Again I say get real.
None of this will win a lawsuit for GW Micro. GW Micro will win a lawsuit
with lawers and evidence that they have not infringed copyright, not by a
whole lot of people on an info list shouting about how bad Freedom are.
Lets get back to the purpose of this list and let the people who know what they are doing get on with what they have to do. I'm not setting up rules or deleting threads of e mail because you want to rant. If thats what you want to do then open a blank word document and write to yourself about how
bad the World is.  That way noone else had to suffer the torture of
listening to the same e mail continuously on this information list!

By the way.  If you ask any lawyer about the effectiveness of a petition,
they will tell you not to bother.

Listers,

Perhapse an email rule or two would eliminate the problem as well.

Warm Regards..  Joe Lanier

Well, we did hear one GW Micro comment already on this or another thread
concerning their position so far.  Jerrimie said he was at the AER
conference and they could not comment there.  There's probably a "no damn
discussion" order going on. Also, for those on the list who have problems
with this extra trafic, remember that most mailers do have the ability to
delete entire threads. So yes, the mail volume has gone up and many of us are probably venting our feelings at best; if you don't wanna read it all, delte the whole thread when it comes up and that help you out quite a bit.
Just keep to the stated subject of the message so the thread accurately
reflects the subject.

Hi,

I don't think it would be in GW's best interest to comment to us on
our desires to help.  It might be perceived that GW is putting us up to
this.
This is farthest from the truth.

Warm Regards..  Joe Lanier

That sounds like a good idea.  The real question is do they even feel
that they  need this?
