To whom it may concern, I have been a member of this list for several years now. I read the traffic on a daily basis. I try to only post when I feel that I can competently address another list member’s query about the Mac & VoiceOver. However, I will confess that, as of late, I have been dra

I am inclined to concurr completely with CJ on this. How well I fondly remember my first days with my Mac and how helpful this list had been at the time in pulling me through what I felt were fairly tricky spots at the time. I hate to see what is happening now to the list and, I should like to

Not necessarily. First you must decide if there is a real danger, or a defined, assumed one. Perhaps the creatures or just hungry...for attention. So it may be in the field of infinite possibilities to clear the air. report the creatures to the equal of terminix, Poison their food, all while

I am aware of who the individual who seems to like to get peoples feelings stirred up is, and since I know where my delete key is, I have no problem with this individual. This individual comes and goes, and unless excluded, he’ll be back! However, my delete key is a constant, not a variable, alt

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 There's a glaring difference you're overlooking. If someone were to start cursing and ranting, perhaps I or another moderator wouldn't catch the first 10, but we would moderate as soon as we caught it. The topic could be closed and that would be that.

Hi all. I, like others, also say that making a new Mac Visionaries list won't solve anything. The reality of the matter is that drama follows us everywhere and if we make a whole new mailing list, we're basically running away from reality. Cara made an excellent point earlier and I'm proud that
