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. Thank you for your understanding.
