[thelist] accessibility in a photography site (look and feel)

[Ed McCarroll]

Brian,

I'm glad to know there's an alternative.  I work hard at earning
Bobby's approval on the sites I design.  (I did not design the
site in question; I merely responded to a request for feedback.)

I did look for such an option, and didn't see it.  It would have
been better if your page recognized the problem and featured a
link to the alternative *prominently*.  (Just a polite request
from one of your fans.)

Regards,

  Ed
