Hi Avichal, Thanks for sharing your point of view and experience, I appreciate it. Accessibility shouldn't be compromised based on week days or weekends and not everyone is lucky to have a volunteer around. The idea is to make the system robust and accessible for each and everyone, disabled or not. My article is based on my opinion which is based on my personal experience. It's okay to have differing opinions after all, in a democracy.
