Hehe, cool, neat seeing you here on the new list Joseph. Here's my own hopes and wishes that this list becomes just as enjoyable as the NVDA one is for me. :P Wooot!

A few things come to my mind as I'm reading the list archives for both lists: For the past few years, I was a moderator of a number of lists and have seen ups and downs of this position. As a moderator of a number of lists now (including two NVDA lists), I always remind myself to be kind and listen to members, as I felt a list admin sets precedence for others to follow. In terms of moderation philosophy, I believe in gentle, offlist diplomacy and how offlist mannerisms matter more for the reputation of a list administrator. I also believe that an admin should invoke his or her privilege sparingly (I think it is better for a moderator to listen to conversations than run the entire show), and to serve not as a judge in disputes but a counsellor (trying to understand disagreements and let members resolve disputes themselves offlist). Lastly, I also believe a moderator should be willing to step down and keep his or her promise to stay as a member, especially if the reputation of the list is in jeopardy (as it is, we can agree that Blind Tech will face criticism because of what happened this weekend, and this latest incident may put that list and its reputation (and Michael's) in jeopardy). As of now, I'm subscribed to both lists to monitor what's going on (I'm still reading Blind Tech archives to fully understand the backstory behind the birth of this list). Cheers, Joseph

Haha, mean? I'm not sure that I've ever seen Carlos being mean to anyone. :D I can certainly understand any frustrations he, or anyone else may have had with the bt list, as I'd had a few of my own, but, he's always kept his messages polite, as far as I can remember. I certainly wish the best for this list, the bt list, and any others that offer help towards others who need it, but, seeing the back and forth bs that seemed to be common for BlindTech was beginning to get a little silly. Certainly my thanks for this new one, and here's to it being able to give the same amount, if not more, help to those of us who like these sorts of things. hehe Take it easy. Blessings. Jeremy

No I didn't argue with him. My common about the new co-owner and his response were both public. ----- Original Message ----- From: "rajmund" <brajmund2000@gmail.com> To: <TechTalk@groups.io> Sent: Sunday, August 30, 2015 11:16 AM Subject: Re: [TechTalk] New developments on Blindtech
Hi Carlos, Ah, so did you even have a chat with him? Because, when I asked why you were banned, I got a don't know. But if you had an argument with him, too, he must have known. So this means he has hidden it. Am I missing something here?

With all due respect, Michael seems to go through one of these phases about every few months. And this is not the first time he has given the list away and then taken control back within a day. The fact is that his new co-list owner was rude to me in private messages and when I commented on this fact, he immediately went on the defensive and was quite rude himself. And when I defended myself and responded to her rudeness, she immediately banned me from the list so no thanks.

You, Carlos, or others who may have left Blindtech may want to reconsider. Michael Capell has gotten the list back and has sent out an announcement indicating that there will be very few rules and that rules will be greatly relaxed. The very brief owners are no longer either owners or moderators.

Hello Kimsan, On behalf of myself and slice bread, I thank you. Welcome to the list and I'm glad to hear you worked out your problem. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kimsan Song To: TechTalk@groups.io Sent: Sunday, August 30, 2015 7:02 AM Subject: RE: [TechTalk] this pc = windows 10
Lol, I hate when I do that...? I always post a question and then right when I send it, I figure out my own problem. However, with it being 4 in the morning now, I have no idea how I got there... I was just tabbing and down arrowing and poof there it was lol.
But, I couldn't figure this out ever since getting windows 10 which is a few weeks now. So, since my brain isn't functioning right now, lets just forget this email ever came through...

Hello: I signed up here, because I think carlos is the coolest thing since slice bread.
Anyways, apparently, I'm still having trouble accessing my c drive an any other external drives when plugging them into my laptop running windows 10. My daughter says, when I tell her, for example, I'm trying to locate my passport, which is the name of my 1tb external hd, she clicks on the mouse and then jaws says this pc, so how can I get to this pc via the keyboard"This pc is in the file explorer which use to show my c drive, dvd drive etc, but it's not showing any of that.
