We won't call you dragon–which I understood is on the raise due to the girl with the dragon tatoo, and it will reach to higher level next year when the year of the dragon arrives. Instead, we will call us dinosaur. Extinct. Defendless. If I may ask, what is the reason that you are in this list? Convert us to dragon perhaps? tee *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***

Re: [WSG] How do you cater to users with disabilities?
I would suggest that cater to isn't the most positive terminology to use with respect to those with disabilities. it implies some sort of not-really-necessary bending over backwards and engaging in some huge hassle and great imposition. if you think of doing business as offering a product or service in return for financial compensation, then you do whatever it takes, as many hard core bidness boosters like to say. I don't go in for slogans myself. The way I think about it is: if they have money I want, then I can make it easy for them to spend it on my product. aside from that, it simply boils down to basic courtesy and human decency. I mean...really...didn't we all learn better by age 5? cat *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***
