Accessibility is one thing, and useability is another. The most important factor might be the skill level of the user, and how well they know their screen reader commands.

Thx, Albert

Hi All:

I agree with what has been said.   From both my prospective as a web site
user and from the prospective of an owner of a web site , I would put it
this way:  A web site has a purpose and a web site is not a guessing game!

When a web site is in practice, a guessing game, it loses value to both user
and owner.

You raise a good point.  Often, it's in the eye of the beholder.
Often, a difficult site, when constantly used, becomes familiar and one
figures out how to use it for what they want or need.
I suppose the real test for a site is how easy or difficult it is to use on
a first visit for a bunch of users.
