It's unfortunate that an image of authority and law enforcement was selected and is the most visible "public face" of the Web accessibility movement. --Kynn PS: Or maybe it's just that I live in Los Angeles... -- -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@idyllmtn.com> http://www.kynn.com/Received on Thursday, 7 September 2000 10:21:45 GMT
