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" To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux."
