Although I can't speak for everyone on the call, I'm sure that everyone present on the call accepts your apology. I accept your apology, even though there was no need to apologise to me. Being relatively new to the group, I've never understood if this is the elephant in the room [1], or whether it's just been purely coincidental that certain members never seem to support anything that would obviously improve accessibility, but would require work on their part as they're issues that they wouldn't have already addressed. I've always assumed it's the elephant, but have never liked to mention it in case it was taboo. You've apologised for making a simple observation, so I'm really pleased that I've never been brave enough to mention the elephant.
