Meant to send this to this list, sorry.

Opinions are one thing, but you just sent a post to this list highlighting the fact that someone shouldn't give misleading information, and then within 24 to 48 hours, you do exactly that. What's more, you don't even have a clear idea on how to fix the problem, and I guarantee you Tyler that you don't understand the nuances or complexities of the problem because you haven't taken any time to bother learning them. This is putting aside the issue of the problem actually being nontrivial. Furthermore, you don't even care to figure it out. Your words are extremely frustrating to individuals who spent countless hours of their time and effort working on Vinux, and other accessibility solutions for that matter.

I don't really much care for trying to figure out the mess. My point was that it was cobbled together, Everything just sort of was made to work for the time being without any insite into the future, and now it's falling apart. On another note, I mentioned running espeakup (which would I think, elimenate the need for a secondary speech-dispatcher to run), though I could be wrong. I just thought it might be a bit of a solution, anyway.
