Well, here we go again with the obnoxious habit of progressives to declare "You are insufficiently progressive. You are missing at least five obvious components. And no, I won't tell you what they are. If you were truly progressive you'd know already." > If the Blog is supposed to collect all articles and >research on the web, it has woefully missed the mark. Perhaps that >is your goal, but it's premature to announce your success. You >missed an awful lot. Not a useful site. Not to the WCAG's in-house fundamentalist, no. How surprising not to read a complaint that there aren't enough illustrations. Thank goodness for small mercies. Of course, if the AccessiBlog is "not a useful site," explain how it has scored 5,273 hits with next to no publicity. If, however, anyone has links to articles I've missed, which is *really* the more effective strategy: Dissing me because I missed them (as if I failed some undocumented test of purity) or actually giving me the links so they can be posted? And by the way, sites that recapitulate the WCAG are not immediately posted to the Specs & Tutorials page <http://www.joeclark.org/accessiblog/ab-specs.html>. So I suppose the AccessiBlog attempts to catalogue original and distinctive resources. Readers are actively encouraged to start their own Weblogs (a list of which is already available: <http://www.joeclark.org/accessiblog/ab-otherblogs.html>) if they wish to catalogue multiple redundant sources. -- Joe Clark | joeclark@joeclark.org | <http://joeclark.org/access/> Accessibility articles, resources, and critiques || "I do not pretend to understand the mind of Joe Clark" -- Larry Goldberg
