Hello everybody Please refrain from discussing Windows material on this list. Be aware that this is a Mac group and, as is clearly stated in the list policy document which every member was sent upon subscription to this group, we do not accept the discussion of Windows configurations or any other non-Apple material.
Please don't take this in any way personally. But we have to implement list policy strictly otherwise we would find the group rapidly losing members. We do not want this group to follow so many others which have fallen into kayos because they permit anything at all regardless of topical guidelines. So, if you wouldn't mind, please do not continue this thread. Anybody who responds to this thread with advice pertaining to Windows is equally at fault here. Unfortunately we are going to have to come down hard on repeated offenders. Please don't make that something we have to do here because we really don't want to do it. But we must stress very strongly the need for this group to be disciplined for the good of the group as a whole. We know that there are members who are really tired of this sort of reminder being posted and equally tired of the Windows stuff being raised. So let's try not to have this happen again, please! The next person to offend in this way will most likely fi nd themselves in moderation. It's true that the configuration of a virtual environment is a bit of a grey area. However, we do clarify this in the list policy document. We just don't know what else we can do to persuade people to comply! I'm sorry to sound so harsh, but this really is becoming a very tedious reminder to have to post. Everybody was sent the list policy document, so we cannot accept "I didn't know", or ignorance as an excuse. If the member concerned did not bother to read the list policy document when they joined, that isn't our fault. So please, everybody, no more Windows questions. This really is not the place. Ask about Fusion, Parallels, things like that, by all means. But definitely not Jaws, Window-Eyes, NVDA and all the rest of it. It's off topic and won't be tolerated any longer. To clarify, just one more time. You can discuss how to set up your virtual machine. You can discuss how to configure VoiceOver or anything else on the Mac side. But the configuration of Windows or any other non-Apple applications within a non-Apple guest operating system is definitely, absolutely most definitely, off topic. Again, this is nothing personal, but this is the final reminder we will post to the group. The next person to re-offend in this way goes into moderation mode. That option is outlined in the list policy document which, if you didn't read it when you were sent your welcome pack, you may view at any time by browsing to <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/Mac-Access-Welcome.html> Alright, that's the end of the final reminder. Yet again I am sorry to sound harsh; but we simply don't have the time, let alone the patience, to keep posting gentle reminders to this effect over and over again. Clearly the message is not getting through. So next time, there's no warning, it will just be actioned. If you wish to discuss this with us off list, by all means feel free to contact us at <[email protected]> and we will try to explain a little I am deliberately not quoting Laurel's post below because I don't want there to be anything personal. This is a general group reminder, and it's the final time it will be posted.
