> What did you mean by DOH? Hahaha... and yet still with an accessibility bend to it. DOH! is the utterance of one Homer Simpson, every time he makes a foolish mistake - (and for those of you lucky enough to have missed this, Homer is a cartoon character from the televison show "The Simpsons") <ramble> But it also succinctly illustrates a point - on the Internet, NEVER take cultural inferences as being universally understood, even invasive American ones (with no offence to my American friends...). When consulting about the different types of accessibility impairments, often the hardest one to explain/illustrate is that of Cognitive disability, because it is so much more than just people with learning disorders or dyslexia... as the above example neatly illustrates. </ramble> JF
