C’mon y’all, we get a reminder on the first of each month what the list rules are… one of which is:
******
2: Stay on topic. 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. Many of us subscribe to such lists and don’t appreciate the cross-posting when said posting is outside the purview of a given list.
And now, I wish you all well.
Be safe

Hi,
First Amendment allows anyone to add to their signature and that includes
those who desire to share something about themselves, and the importance of
faith and belief in God, in their post. Many signatures also include
common , non religious, sayings. IF we begin to eliminate some then all
must go.

This article has no business on this list. 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.

All must go? Sounds like a great idea. For the record, this is not a First Amendment issue. The government isn't involved.

And there are people on this list, from outside of America, who are
not in the least interested in what goes on politically over there.

True, the government is not involved. Yet as an individual I have the
freedom to express myself unless , the list expressly prohibits such
behaviors. In that case I have the choice to follow the rules or leave.
Many, non religious saying I do not like but that's part of a person's
right. A sad statement on our culture that we can so easily be offended or
want something removed with which we disagree.
