I also agree with this, and I have a problem with someone whose view on accessibility seems to focus on the technologies, not the people using those technologies.

I have a modern browser (Firefox 3.5) with full support for Javascript, Flash, etc. I also have disabilities which make it very difficult for me to use some sites which employ those technologies. If you want me, and people like me, to visit your site for more than a few seconds, then I suggest you focus on whether we can access it, not whether our computers can!

Even with closed systems like intranets you're "playing with fire" if you don't have regard for accessibility.

Agreed. Web applications built ‘for' closed intranets are the reason so many corporates still have IE6 installed. There are perfectly good selfish reasons why companies ought to consider accessibility. It's about ensuring things just work.
