Re: [orca-list] Problem with Wireless Again

["Nolan Darilek" <nolan thewordnerd info>]

Hi.

I don't mean to be unhelpful and rude, but can we please keep this list 
on the topics of Orca and accessibility? It frustrates me that every 
blindness/accessibility-related community I join slowly turns into "I 
need help with this technical issue and don't want to google for the 
solution or another community."

I'm not opposed to being helpful, I just don't want to be a member of 
any general Linux support communities, which is why I haven't signed up 
for any. I want to read discussions about Orca and GNOME accessibility, 
and while I'm sympathetic to folks struggling to get their systems 
working, mine works just fine and I don't want to have to delete or skim 
past a bunch of unrelated questions to benefit from this list.

There are some very good distribution-specific forums out there. I know 
the ones for Ubuntu are quite helpful, as google has turned up any 
number of helpful posts there.

Thank you, and good luck with your wireless issue.
