Hi Adrian, Thank you very much for your support! I don't post the download links to make people dependent, I do it because it's a matter of convenience for a lot of people on this list as well as other lists' I am a member of. Like you said, I've already found them, why not share! Many of the list members appreciate the effort, but there are always a few that think I'm making others dependent on the links, & that's while they're clicking on them & downloading the new release themselves! LOL LOL Also, thank you for providing the links when I've been too lazy to get them. Take care. Mike Go Dodgers! ----- Original Message ----- From: Adrian Spratt To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2016 6:27 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] [Bulk] Re: Jaws 17 update is released
The list philosophy does seem to be try first, then ask, but this is different. Any article you find online, and definitely anything I publish online, contains a link to the webpage where each quotation or other documentary support is to be found. Why this insistence that blind computer users go to the extra trouble of finding a link when someone has already done so? I appreciate Mike B's practice of saving us time after he's gone and found FS download links, and in the past I've done the same when he hasn't gotten around to it. Time matters. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of zoe fiogkos Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2016 5:38 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] [Bulk] Re: Jaws 17 update is released You know there are people with learning disabilities, and also people who don't speak very good English.

Jaws 17 released date today link, press enter. Follow the information that the F S web site gives you. A user of the Jaws program needs to know how to use the Freedom Scientific web site, its easy . If everyone keeps giving them the links, they will not learn how to use the site themselves. For a person just starting out, I can see helping them, by emailing them the download link off the list. But I see the same people asking for the Jaws links year after year, this is being lazy. Please learn how to use the freedom scientific web site for your own good. Love God! with your heart, mind, and soul, that you might be blessed reaching His goal. Love your Neighbor as you would yourself, God will truly reward you with good health. Love God, your neighbor, as you love yourself, you will then be spiritually balanced with wealth. Love His Word that proceeds from His lips, then reflect on the heavens where God sits.
