At risk of repeating myself and at larger risk of being misunderstood, I will again point out that accessibility is for everyone :), not just one set (be that "people who can see" or "people who can't see" or whatever) and thus my statements (or anyone's statements) on what makes the web more useful for _them_ should be as valid as anyone else's statements. :) So I'm saying that as a non-graphics-using web surfer, I have _this_ opinion. Which, yes, is just an opinion, but then so is everyone else's, including blind folks. Sure, I want to hear their opinions, but for _my_ special needs -- using a browser without graphics -- this is what I feel I'd like. :) I hope the PC police don't shoot me. Remember, accessibility for everyone! Accessibility for everyone! aaaaaa they're coming to take me aawaaaaaaaay
