[eklhad at home.com: Biased Web Site]

Hey guys,

Here's a post from blinux-list. I think he's got a point, but after
all, it's Hans' site and he can pretty well do whatever he wants with
it. ... I basically wrote in saying that, and that perhaps someone
else
would be willing to take the challenge of an unbiased site. ....

I just visited the Blinux home page, www.leb.net/blinux.
Have you been there recently?
Fully half the page is a glowing endorsement of EmacsSpeak.
"The most advanced voice enabled interface", according to Hans.
He adds the disclaimer, "In my humble opinion",
but nonetheless, *every* blinux visiter is deliberately directed towards
one particular adapter.

Now EmacsSpeak is a fine product to be sure,
but certainly not the only adapter on the site.
I wrote Hans about this and he said, esentially,
"It's my site, and I prefer EmacsSpeak, so there it is."
I think this attitude is unproffessional and counterproductive.
The blinux site should be completely unbiased.
Here are all the adapters -
select the one that best meets your needs.
If you agree, please write Hans at hzo at gmx.de and let him know.

BTW, I encourage EmacsSpeak users, including Raman,
to respond as well.
This isn't about which adapter is best-
it's about maintaining an unbiased web site of the highest quality.
