We're a JFW-oriented list. That said, anything related to JFW, its functionality with programs etc is acceptable. If it doesn't have to do with JFW, it doesn't belong on the list. This includes, but isn't limited to, talk of other screen readers such as Window Eyes. I would also add, as an admonition, that advising anyone to simply hit the Delete key shows disrespect for fellow list members. There are other lists on which this material *would be appropriate.

If a republican would have posted something pro Trump, everybody would be up in arms over it, but this was allowed. Doesn't seem fair to me. Political opinions have no place here. Just my two cents. Let's stick to the reason for this list, and keep our political opinions to ourselves or at least on lists besides this one.
