Re: [orca-list] buffering

Dear Hermann/Krishnakant.

PLEASE STOP

You two have been going at each other for a while now, and it is 
unpleasant to see.


Instead of arguing, please do something useful.

Krishnakant:
We are eagerly waiting for the user manual you are writing, because it 
will be useful to many newcomers.
Also did you contact, or report bugs for evince so that we can track the 
progress of the accessibility on that front?
I have been meaning to ask you to please stop refering to people as 
hackers for a long time, but never got round to doing so.
just look up the definition of hacker, yes it does have several meanings, 
but the most recent interpretation is criminal. The meaning you refer to 
is now out of date. Hackers is now used derogatively. (to refer to 
non-professionals etc).


Hermann:
You have always been very good with tracking down and providing debug info 
for bugs, so please keep up the good work. I am sure you are able to find 
some new once.

All:
The point is that we all need each other, to go forward, so lets stop 
bickering and bating each other.
Instead spend this time productively by contributing/improving 
accessibility.
Everyones input is greatly welcome. Lets all push in the same direction.

P.S. This reply is ment to be fare, please accept the  constructive 
criticism.

-Jon
