One of the main points that _I_ would like to yes, and it was started by Michael R. Burks on Dec.11, 2001. Or do you mean that there were several threads on Olympics site? I use as mailer KMail (check mail's header, look for 'X-Mailer' field) X-Mailer: KMail [version 1.3.1] and KMail supports "threads" very well. So, Michael's mail in wai-ig folder is just 2 raws before my answer/comment ;-) I know things look like very much different in MS Outlook, and that's Outlook guilty in breaking threads on all mailing lists, including this. | make is that random selection of a "target" and continued public | criticism of that target site's web design and coding is not productive, | nor is it the appropriate topic for this mailing list. well, I do not think that Olympics site (wether it's "official" www.olympics.com or "tweaked by NBC" www.nbcolympics.com) is a regular site. It will be used by millions of people, not like some low-traffic web site. So posting like "http://www.angryflower.com/ is not rendered correctly with JavaScript enabled, but after disabling JS it renders O.K." is most likely off-topic here (BTW: it was real bug report I was looking at, you may check at http://bugs.kde.org/ and search for bug # 35622), but I think problem with Olympics site accessibility is On-Topic. Anyway, let moderator to moderate this thread, please... ;-) | | Other people have expressed, in the past, a desire to create a frontier | justice style mailing list, where anyone who wishes to can put up a | site for public lynching. I think that if such a project needs to be | undertaken, it should be done off the WAI list, which isn't really ok, send them to http://bugs.kde.org/ and ask them to file a bug report. [but they should check first with Konqueror that there is a rendering problem] And, by the way, I already filed bug report and received acknoledgement.

Or at least to contact me off-list. Most corporations do dirty work "behind your back", and in contrast to their dirty games, we are playing clean, fare game. And I post under my real name, with no fear that someone in Microsoft or NBC will dislike me. And, until some companies put on web non-validated content, causing problems for web surfers, it's my *duty* to point out to those companies on these problems. And ask them to correct these mistakes. | | --Kynn Best Regards, -- Vadim Plessky http://kde2.newmail.ru (English) 33 Window Decorations and 6 Widget Styles for KDE http://kde2.newmail.ru/kde_themes.html KDE mini-Themes http://kde2.newmail.ru/themes/
