Dear Karen,
there have been many instances in the past where able-bodied and
differently-enabled experts have worked together in the FreeDOS threads for a
common good. I am distressed to have witnessed the escalating discord between
two of such proponents. I too have experienced "acquired disabi

Roping in the world, is a fool's errand. Just raise awareness of human
factors in design.

Thanks, Karen, for the detailed explanation:
Most folk aren't disabled. Then they can't understand it.

Eric,
Liam could have made his point about reactions to Linux issues, without
using my name, or making statements about my motivations.
That he chose to do so, in spite of my statements to the contrary, and
that he dismissed details after the fact speaks of slander, perhaps even
intention in
'Culture' at large really is knocking on the door of pravda+izvestia.
That's my 'suffering' through this thread...

Karen, Jim,
threatening legal actions against people who misunderstand
your suffering is not appropriate. At all. It makes me sad
that getting computers to cooperate with you is so hard,
and I am sorry for making bad or stupid suggestions in
that context, but none of us is engaging in "slander".

Hi Carsten,
I also use a Python script to access online media such as
youtube, called youtube-dl. It often needs to be updated
to work with the newest changes on youtube, but it also
works with a number of other websites including various
media libraries of TV and radio stations. So I like the
