Nigel This list has a very stand offish atitude to new users. It's not intentional, but for some reason it happens. I've been using Linux since 1996, and when I first wanted to try speakup, I got a similar treatment to what you're getting now. Like I said, it's not intentional, and I would suggest you try to forget it, and take from it what education on the points that you can. To answer your questions: Speakup is a screen reader, developed by blind people, for blind people, and used by blind people. I know of no sighted people on this list. The list has both developers and users on it. Stick it out--once you get past the hazing, you'll like it here.
