Hello Vaughn. Who else is on FSCast with you and Jonathan? Is Doug and Aaron on there?
-----Original Message----- From: Talk [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Vaughan Dodd via Talk Sent: Monday, May 15, 2017 9:55 PM To: Bryan Peterson; Window-Eyes Discussion List Subject: Re: switch to Jaws Brian: firstly - I'm reinforcing the points which others have made. This is not a scam, and Doug and Aaron continue to lead support for Window-eyes at VFO. Now for the list. I agreed with VFO (verbally) that I would not discuss this until VFO released its official announcement. I was not coerced into any such agreement, and for the events i'm about to describe - I was not paid. Some of you may remember that my third attempt at contactingt VFO was shared with the list. I asked for my email to go to a senior person - Chief Executive or similar. Now: way back when, as early as July or August, staffers at VFO encouraged us to write to VFO expressing our concerns, raising suggestions etc. How many did that? And unlike me - how many of you were persistent? Several days after sending my third email mentioned above, I received constructive email feedback from Eric Damery, anbd we skyped for about 45 minutes so that VFO could be assured that I would accept its offer. I was pleased to contribute to the latest FS Cast, in which this offer is discussed, and i've commented on my early experiences with JAWS. A list member took the time to thank me for taking a stand. Brian and others: if you want to believe this is a scam - it is your right to do so. However: you cannot get away with calling people liars. In fact: I am satisfied that Doug fought the good fight on behalf of long serving Window-Eyes customers. He at least should be respected for doing so. Doug and Aaron seem likely to be continuing to work in this industry. Taking up the offer is voluntary and in the short term, if you meet its conditions, JFW won't cost you a thing.
