Sometimes "DUH!" means "of course that's obvious" but in this case it means "how could we have left that out of the document." Particularly in the case where the government buys products of the 'offending' entity." In fact, it is often cited as the pressure point used by advertisers to control media content. This is a classic example of the simultaneous use of carrot and stick - if you fix your inaccessible Web site you will be rewarded by continued purchases as well as avoiding the consequences of having to testify and give depositions. As usual, +1 for Bro. Dick! Love. On Wed, Nov 11, 2009 at 8:43 PM, Wayne Dick <wed@csulb.edu> wrote: > I really like Andrew's letter. > > I just have one additional idea.
