Hi Steve,
As I also explained at the time, a short one-line announcement with a link is
fine from dealers. If people are interested, they will go look. However long
publicity messages are a pain, because so often people will reply to the
advertising message, without removing the text, and the message ends up
oversize.
And before anyone suggests raising the message size limit, not all our members
are lucky enough to have high speed broadband, yet do like to keep up to date
here.
George.

Hi Mo,
I don't mind informational posts, but when companies like ours are slapped down
for merely announcing Window-Eyes versions on here, I couldn't let this one go
without comment, considering it is blatant advertising.
All the best
Steve

hi.
each to his own steve. i subscribe to both services and while audible is better
and more convenient, RNIB could be seen as cost affective if you don't mind the
quality difference. i'm not going to get in to a debate on list of which is
better, there's been enough of that recently and i'm not advertising for the
RNIB or had no intention of doing so on list. i'll refrain from sending
informational posts in future if end users find it an inconvenience. the last
thing we want to do is generate more list traffic.
all the best,
Mo.

Hi,
No, it isn't. Spend your money on Audible. Better quality and you don't have
to log in every time you open the app.

I'd agree jackie, despite all the flaws it is certainly still worth it.
All the best,
Mo.

Seriously though, it is worth the money if you love reading.
