That message I sent was not intended for arch-general at all, sorry
about the basic stuff coming up on this list.

Did you ever download a package from aur before? If not you can get and
set up yaourt on archlinux but some edits have to be done to
/etc/pacman.conf and then you need to run two pacman commands to first
update your repositories and then install yaourt. I do it like this:
edit /etc/pacman.conf as root and add these lines:
[archlinuxfr]
SigLevel = Never
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/$arch
Save the file and exit.
Next run:
pacman -Sy yaourt <cr>
You may install optional dependencies after that.
Then run:
yaourt -Syua <enter>
Finally run:
yaourt -Ss espeakup|less <enter>
and you shall hear.
To check this, run:
Yaourt -S espeak-ng <enter>
If you're told espeak and espeak-ng conflict you have espeak on your
machine and will be offered the opportunity to remove it if you like.
The arch-general list most certainly is not the blinux-list. Hope this
helps.
That -syua command updates everything on the aur repository in addition
to all other repositories you have installed.
Please, do NOT recommend using the archlinux.fr repo. It causes problems all of
the time. Also, do NOT recommend skipping over learning how the AUR actually
works. You're just setting people up for future failure.
