That should be exactly what he should be saying. If you think you have the right to discriminate between what users of your page receive based on their disability I suggest you read the definition of discrimination and ask any of the disability representative organizations. You can think what you want but when you make that public there are responsibilities both morally and legally that you do so in a non discriminatory manner.

You are saying that the USER should be able to determine what is important on the PAGE THAT I HAVE AUTHORED!? If this is your view of the web, then what is the point of anyone even posting a web page? The author of the page is the one who determines what is essential. This is the basis of such things as "blogging" and personal journals. What if you wrote a page, and eliminated a paragraph before you post it. Are you saying that the user that the author should leave it, and let the user decide if it should stay or not? -----Original Message----- From: Access Systems [mailto:accessys@smart.net] Sent: Friday, January 18, 2002 8:56 AM To: w3c-wai-ig@w3.org Cc: w3c-wai-ig@w3.org Subject: Re: WA - background-image in CSS On Fri, 18 Jan 2002, RUST Randal wrote: my opinion only !
