This statement is a little ambiguous to me. . .

Kynn, I haven't found any yet that refers to the way I design or has cost me
in anything other than time.  But please keep in mind, if it did cost me
more time, that is okay because I choose to design this way.

This is my philosophy and my practice.  I will design my sites to be as
accessible as I know how.  I have learned so much over the past few years
and I guess I just do not find it that much of a hardship. If I didn't care
about this issue, I would not spend so much time learning all I can about
how to do it properly.  I'm still learning.  This is my education.  "The
Education of Accessibility"   *Smile*
