That argument comes up quite a bit. Here's the deal, do you think it is easier for a blind person to get to a store and shop than it is for them sit in their home and shop from the web? >>use the phone What? To shop with? Is a 'phone catalog' available? >>shop elsewhere That argument didn't work for bricks and mortar stores and certainly shouldn't be allowed to work for the web. I really don't get the reason for the hostility. Open a restaurant and see if you must comply with accessibility issues. Parking, restrooms, access ramps- compliance is a must. Why should a website be different?
>>Not be able to use the website has nothing to do with being able to access the goods or services they have, unless that is the only place they are available, in this case though they are available other places then on a website.
