[Mael-list] Website

[Miranda]

Dave, I fully agree.

To me the most disappointing thing about this new web site is that it is, 
just like the old one, entirely inaccessible to visually impaired computer 
users like I am. Software for the blind isn't able to read flash, so, if I 
open the site I just"see nothing at all.

This is even more disappointing because it isn't so much extra work to 
create a web site that can be used by everybody, and because Sue has 
promised me long ago that they would look at accessibility when the website 
would be revised. But apparently it isn't that important to them.
