It has been pointed out to me that perhaps I should have also elaborated
more.  Guilty as charged.  My fast-fingered response was due to the fact
that Tina *didn't* point out the problem, only referred to it.

That comment about little yellow boxes to check for alt text is just
plain stupid... the author clearly is mis-informed or ill-informed, and
lacks credibility.  Remember however that GAWDS is a volunteer
organization, and as such prone to these types of "errors".
None-the-less Jim Bryne should be commended for his work in establishing
the Guild... we can't always expect him to police everything on the
site, although this particular article/opinion piece *SHOULD* be
addressed (Jim??). As a member of GAWDS, I must say it reflects poorly
on GAWDS and on serious accessibility practitioners in general.
