This is getting really old and quite boring. All that is happening here is rampant speculation and scare mongering by a few people who either work for JAWS or have so little to do with their lives, they find this amusing. It looks like a full on campaign to undermine Window -Eyes with nothing in the way of evidence to support the conjectures. And FYI, developers age and retire. People move on to other jobs, get promoted and sometimes leave the industry altogether. It doesn't mean they can't be replaced by equally talented individuals.
If you want to talk about rationality, don't make assertions unless you have proof to back it up. Sorry but comments like some unknown person said so in a forum or where particular links may or may not lead isn't evidence. Now if you have a press release or company statement, I'll be happy to listen further. Finally, it is quite telling that these rumours all come from the same few people. What does this suggest? -----Original Message----- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+kube=netspace.net...@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of Stephen Clark via Talk Sent: Saturday, 13 May 2017 3:46 AM To: Peter Duran via Talk <talk@lists.window-eyes.com> Subject: Re: Until VFO says so, Window-eyes is not dead.
