Greg, I quite clearly explained what I was talking about. If you want to tell me I'm mistaken as to what is considered OT for this list, that would be fine. I think it's reasonable for someone who subscribes to a list named "speakup" to assume it's about speakup and NOT about orca. But whether the orca posts are technically off-topic is not the point. Maybe you disagree with me but there is no reason to be rude. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gregory Nowak" <greg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Monday, April 30, 2007 1:13 PM Subject: Re: off-topic posts > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > What off topic posts are you talking about?
