Oh Bryan your view so simplistic. There is a whole world out there you
know.

No, you've missed the point AGAIN!

It doesn't matter what the developers "think" about accessibility. It
matters what they "DO" about it. Most people in YOUR organization
don't consider accessibility because accessibility does not concern
them . Just like people who dump toxic chemicals into your drinking
water don't concern themselves when you get cancer. They don't care
because they are unaffected. SELFISHNESS is the key word here!

These people have 20/20 vision, perfect hearing, and all their
extremities still attached. Sadly however they lack a brain that can
comprehend even the most basic form of compassion for those who don't
have these luxuries! If ANY of these selfish idiots was in a car
accident and lost an arm and both eyes, i'd bet a million dollars that
the next time they sit down to use a computer they will realize just
how important accessibility is. I would bet that accessibility would
become a major buzz word around your office then!

Yes and you made your selfishness quite clear! Be careful my friend,
because as Tyler found out, this mindset becomes a slippery slope
*very* quickly!
