So, this web page doesn't work without javascript. I find that somewhat ironic, because you'd think that the ABA would be aware of the Americans With Disabilities act, which requires a reasonable accomodation; in this case that accomodation would be one less line of html (the meta-equiv refresh line)
The ADA does not require writers, whether lawyers or novelists or whatever, to write their material in ways that the blind can read, that retarded persons can understand, or that the Java-less can process. (Though I admit that many of these rent-seeking vipers would of course _like_ the ADA to be extended to cover such things, if only to increase the rent they can collect in thousands of lawsuits.) --Tim May -- Timothy C.
