I'm not saying that thats a good thing, but given that the ABA is a nest of those rent-seekers, having them on the receiving side carries a certain poetry that I'm suprised you don't see.
Oh, I see it all right. I just don't _ever_ support bad laws, no matter how much the application is "just desserts."
And should this interpretation be applied to the ABA, application to everyone else would follow swiftly.
I should've added the obvious, if a bit conspiratorial, point that that ABA could conceivably be the ones behind such a lawsuit. Br'er Rabbit be sayin': "Oh, puh-leese, don't be suin' me over dat ADA shit!" Anything the American Bar Association loses by being forced to make Web materials readable to the blind, the spastic, and the retarded would be repaid many times over by increased business to their shysters. (I doubt such a lawsuit is in progress, or could be won. Just a talking point, basically.) --Tim May -- Timothy C.
