No need to be insulting,   Deedra.

Besides, you're wrong about me being unable to see your side of the 
story. In fact, I am convinced you are right. I realized John C. was 
suggesting I try pressing speakup+r on a blank line and that sure did 
crash my system. And that's something you might very well have done 
while using the console on a development machine.

On the other hand, I still say that's no reason to take speakup out of 
the kernel. It's a reason to fix that bug. If we need speakup in the 
kernel, the bugs should be fixed. But that doesn't mean we don't need 
speakup in the kernel.
