I also agree with Gene here. Joseph has done a damn fine job running the list. Heck we hear from him mor than Nimer probably cause he works etc. etc. If this list is going to be run like this in

Hi, Joseph and every one, I as a member of this list appreciate being asked for my opinions / thoughts on issues concerning nvda and the list. I think no one on this

Hi NVDA forum members, Recent discussion on moderator selection procedure brought up two important issues: * Policy discussion: Because this list is devoted to talking about NVDA, it was

Hi Does nvda speak the items under your finger when you move it around on the t-screen? If so you may be able to use it like a mouse. A single tap to select an item and double tapping an item on

Hi Gene, Consistency… We’ll do as you correctly pointed out. We may eventually need to set up a subgroup dealing with list policies… Cheers, Joseph

Joseph, those are very good points on which to choose a new moderator. I think that another point is that they also need to be respected by the majority of the list members where they will serve, and

Hi all Quick update on the situation. I upgraded my tablet to windows 10, just for curiosity's sake. And after fighting for a long time to get narator to not start automatically, and NVDA to do so. I
