Re: Accessible carousels in public Slick.js archive

AMAZING!!!! Thanks.... Brian.... you are making the world a better place...

This is going to reduce accessibility costs all over the world. I hope the
owner accepts the pull requests... apparently he has not be that open to
accessibility help previously, even from seasoned professionals, it appears
he's always asserted that it is accessible.

Cheers,
David MacDonald
