You're making that up, Stephen. It's all in your mind.

I wasn't the slightest bit upset with anyone. My remarks about repeating

And, I think your time stamp analysis neglected to take account of time
zones. I saw the two posts during one read through on the list, about
two minutes apart. So, you're wrong.

As for whether a screenless phone is a good thing or a bad thing,  be my
guest to have any opinion you like. If you buy a phone so that you can
get sighted assistance with screen displays, I certainly won't try to
stop you.
