Oh, I understand that Speakup was the problem in the situation you've been telling us about. I get that. My point is that it could just as easily been something else. Happens all the time. To categorically ban application X because you had a bad experience with it in one situation is not very smart, imo. To turn around and say that disabled thing was the problem, and we just won't have that is downright insulting when they didn't have running backups and some other componant could have been the culpirt just as easily.
