Thanks for your message ReNae. Sometimes its hard to make a phone or computer comply. Not all of us have strong computer or screenreader comand skills. I am one of those.
I agree we have to be patient. Sometimes hard and fast rules are needed. I understa nd etiquette but expecting perfection. We are all just human.
