Ah, pedantic extremes such as pointing out the law... or that usability
hits your bottom line every single time.

Hey, if you like ignore the warnings. But don't come crying when you're
hit with that $20k fine. Personally.

Alternatively, if you're not even taking part in a discussion, keep out
of it with meta-whines without tips.

<tip type="Accessibility: Avoiding being fined large amounts of money">
There's a strong case to suggest that a developer can be held
*personally* liable for breaching the Americans with Disability Act
(ADA)  - the precedent is that the DOJ has consistently held (and
subsequent cases have proven this to be so) that architects are liable
for failure to design and construct accessible buildings.
