You know this is a publicly archived mailing list, yes? :) Several 
members of the press are members of this list too, you know...

Having read Carla's article, I can't find fault with a single thing she 
says. Juanjo said the exact same thing in this thread. GNOME 3 has 
regressed some from GNOME 2 with the deprecation of Bonobo and Orca 
didn't work well with GNOME 3.0 at all.

So - what exactly is there to rebut? Let's celebrate successes instead 
of trying tactics to gain notoriety (and, since she's exactly right, you 
end up risking a "GNOME 3 not accessible" article coming right back at 
you that you could spend years trying to overcome).

Cheers,
Dave.
