John said: "Given that *you* have agreed that forcing users to choose one tool over the other is indeed discriminatory ..." What? How is that discriminating against the disabled when it is equally applied to all visitors to the site? It's not discrimination when it is applied to everyone, maybe poor business from the consumer view, but not discrimination! Is it discrimination to force all business to offer all the choices that any individual may ask? I believe the bank should fix their web site's compliance issues, but not because of this so called discrimination reason. I have really appreciated Kelly's responses in this thread and support him. "Effective communication" has now been added to my personal glossary. For example: I don't have a civil right to only ask for slotted screws because I don't want to be forced to purchase a Phillip's screw driver. My brother had to buy a special screw driver to remove a broken seat belt in a vehicle, one that wasn't even compatible with another vehicle's seat belt screws/bolts. This has nothing to do with being a minority, disabled, or in poverty. The civil rights discussion is not the intended subject of this list either. But thanks Kelly for enlightening many of us. Regards, Phill (personal comments, not those of my employer)
