Previously Jim Thatcher:
"Like you said, we all share the dream of an accessible web. ...

Charles F. Munat:
I beg to differ.
Who is this "we" who share the dream of an accessible web?

Jim:

Jim: That would be nice.

Charles F. Munat (amongst over ranting):

Jim:
I certainly don't think 508 solves anything. But it sure is on course to
bring about solutions, to bring about substantial change.
