Let's face it ... the net is _not_ designed for the tiny minority of users
who cannot see.  It's essentially a visual medium and becoming more so
every day and we have to deal with it, like it or not.  People who've
never had useful vision find it easy to trivialize and minimize the
importance and usefulness of vision ... that's sheer self-centeredness and
stupidity and one huge reason I have never accepted much of what most of
the leadership in organizations of the blind have said concerning vision
and its importance.  I've had vision and I've been blind and I'll damned
well tell you that the former is highly preferable any day of the week.
