[Electronics-talk] Still Not Sure What to do About Autoplay for the Second Time Around

[Christopher Chaltain]

Well, according to the list info page, which you can get to from the 
link at the bottom of every message:

"This list is intended for the sharing of information about, and 
discussion of the accessibility of various consumer electronics devices. 
Sharing of information about, and discussion of MP3 players; cell phones 
and other telephones; DVD players, receivers and other stereo and video 
components; satellite and HD radios; and household appliances including 
microwaves, washers, dryers, stoves, and the like; is appropriate and 
encouraged. With more and more devices having inaccessible controls or 
displays, a place to share information and experiences is needed. It is 
also hoped that this list will divert such discussions from other 
NFB-sponsored lists, where it is not appropriate."

Computers are electronic, but I don't consider them to be consumer 
electronics. Windows isn't accessible off the shelf either, so I suspect 
you're running a 3rd party screen reader. I'm not sure who "warned" you 
if your message was off topic, but if it dealt with a PC running 
Windows, then I might have pointed out to you, after answering your 
question, that you might get more information on a list where your 
message was on topic for your question. Providing such advice is not the 
same as warning you, and since I'm not the moderator, you're more than 
willing to ignore it.

I'm not the moderator, so I'll let you and him decide if your messages 
are or are not on topic for this list. Just because others ask questions 
about PC on this list, and may not be on topic themselves, doesn't make 
posting off topic questions to the list appropriate or the best way to 
get your questions answered.
