Well, I think mis interpritation of any email generally leads to such
fights which are not just off topic but also derail the entire
mission.

exactly.  and since we are on this list at least most of us value
their freedom and I strongly object any one taking name of any
particular brand and speak about its cost etc.  Freedom is the most
costly thing in this world and that is what we get with free software.
  So it is my strong requesst, Please don't do any negative comparison
of a certain proprietory software with free software.  this is
absolutely below dignity for freedom fighters like myself and many
others.  We better stick to improving our software with the help of
the hackers community and do nothing else that starts a flame war.

Exactly I second that.

Well many on this list might actually care.  it is not the question of
whether this is better or that.  I don't find any comparison between a
certain proprietory software and free software.  no proprietory
software will give such huge scope for improvements and the freedom
aspect can't be ignored.  So please give constructive feedback to help
improve orca rather than talking about what americans use or how
costly or cheep it is.

well not just for this topic, let's make this mailing list a truely
most civilised list and add value to our own freedom and others.
most of you new comers and unfortunately many seasoned ones as well,
Please report the problem keeping one thing in mind.  your "favorite "
proprietory software does not give you any say in how the system
should be and how fast a certain bug could be solved.  when any one
discusses a bug please also exactly give the cause and what was the
last thing that made it happen, instead of "orca works slow, I am
using x distro and y version and z software with orca it is slow as
compared to a certain brand ".
Please also mention if you already found the information you wanted
with the help of flat review key and if you can manage, also mention
which part of the screen renders the info to orca in what situation.
this helps us a lot to find out things much easily.
happy hacking.
