When we have laws (including the Constitution), people often say "obviously, it doesn't apply to this". Quite often they are wrong. (why should a transient worker have the right to vote?). I don't want some bureaucrat deciding which laws, documents, and information I don't need to know about. In the same token, I don't want a computer programmer deciding I'm not a valid customer - if the programmer thinks it is too much work to design his web page so I can use it - then he should let the people who are paying him to decide. Maybe this isn't because I am disabled. Maybe it's because I don't have Active-X enabled in my browser. The state needs to be inclusive. Our employers don't want to be accidentally exclusive. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
