I really thought this was interesting. I've tried to go to onelist and it's
really become a pain to get around. I really think we should suggest to
Onelist that they put the alt tags back so each link will have text
associated with it.

Subject: accessibility on onelist


>Hi everybody,  I am writing to everybody that I can to get all blind people

>cause.  recently onelist upgraded their site.  In doing so they made it so
>it is not as speach friendly.  They took out the alt tags that were  behind
>the icons.  What the alt tags did for speach users was when you would tab
>from one link to another the speach would read what that link goes to.  Now
>all you hear is "click here"  This makes it very hard to get around the
>site.  What you have to do is root up your reading cursor and read each
>thing you land on.  This takes about three times longer to move threw a
>page.  What I am asking everybody! to do is to go to the onelist site and
>then find the sujestionsbox and tell them that we want the alt tags back!
>Their may be a way to just do it by mail but I don't know the address yet.
>If anyone knows please let us know ASAP.  This is our chance to stand up as
