"Edge case" is a term I see used far too often, a trivialization of problems observed by real people. It may be de-motivating, but for those who have no choice but to live in what devs call "edge-case" scenarios, little is more frustrating than to hear that it isn't worth enabling accessibility to those with handicaps simply because they are part of a minuscule minority. Not everyone has a choice to be a member of a majority. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.
