I do stand corrected though, I should have taken a look at the user's guide on the site, though I still think it was reasonable to assume that the user's guide from git, and the one on the site would be the same. While spkguide.txt on linux-speakup.org, and spkguide.txt in the doc directory of the speakup tree both have the same last modified date, the spkguide.txt in the speakup tree is updated to reflect the changes made in speakup from git. Michael already gave you what you need to know, so I'm not going to paste the info from the updated spkguide.txt here. > This, Gregory, is an example of helpful information, and not > useless, wasted bandwidth that doesn't even provide a URL for this > "Users Guide" you assume everyone knows about. Tyler has been on this list long enough, that he should have seen linux-speakup.org being mentioned here more than once. Even if someone doesn't know where to start looking for the user's guide, linux-speakup.org is a good place to start, and at least the slightly out-dated copy would have been discovered as the 4th link on that page. In the case of a newby, there is a chance that they would have heard of linux-speakup.org, though if someone posting here for the first time had asked what Tyler had asked, I would have given a quick overview, like you had done, in addition to telling them where to find the user's guide. So, I think that in Tyler's case, as someone who has been here for a while, the information you termed as being unhelpful, was a valid starting point.
