Blow me? a very very mild expletive often used by my grand mother, and
others of that generation, rather like "stone-a- crows".

Please believe that I'm not defending someone whose rood, or -- --vulgar. There's no need for it, though I've seen the F --word in a post -- --or 2 in the past, and wouldn't consider it beyond the realms of -- --possibility that I might use it myself. I think that freedom of -- --expression is more important than vulgarity. Some people's limited -- --vocabulary means that they have limited ways of expressing --themselves, -- --and therefore normal rules don't necessarily appertain. -- -- --2. I'd hate to think we were banning someone for the non-sin of not -- --being particularly articulate, or for whom spelling and --punctuation is -- --a problem. I'm not the world's greatest speller myself, --and I'd hate -- --to have my punctuation put under the microscope: I also --have very mild -- --dyslexia. -- -- --3. Some people don't find it easy to follow instructions, --had it not -- --been for Aman's amazingly good instructions for installing rb and -- --getting it talking, I doubt my own ability to have got it working. -- -- --4. I submitted a request a couple of days ago for help --with flashing -- --my players, and explained that I couldn't understand the --instructions -- --in the manual. There was no implied criticism of the manual there, -- --merely my lack of ability. -- -- --5. I'm not a developer either, I'm an inexperienced and incompetent -- --user. I need help, and although I don't dispute for a --moment that the -- --list may be primarily for developers, I hope it's OK for users to be -- --here and ask questions too. I wonder if it was a developer who came -- --up with the idea of having rockbox speak, or whether it was as a -- --result of a suggestion from another user, whether visually --impaired or -- --not. I understood that this was the general discussion list for all -- --things pertaining to rockbox, hence why I joined. -- -- --6. Again I'd say that there's no excuse for insulting --other members, -- --for being rude to each other, and for any vulgarity that doesn't -- --clearly arise from a lack of communication ability. I just want to -- --sound a note of caution to the calls for a ban. -- -- --Rob -- ---------Original Message----- -- ----From: rockbox-bounces_at_cool.haxx.se -- ----[mailto:rockbox-bounces_at_cool.haxx.se]On Behalf Of Mat Holton -- ----Sent: 15 June 2004 13:18 -- ----To: rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se -- ----Subject: Re: Prob with Archos fm -- ---- -- ---- -- ----I'll third it.
