[thelist] RE: Does the Americans with Disabilities, ADA, act pertain to Internet Content?

I think you are right on that Southwest will settle out of court, but I
don't think it is because they feel they will lose the case.  There are
still to many questions from a legal standpoint to say it would go one way
or another.  I think the biggest reason why companies are settling out of
court is publicity.

What company in todays economy wants to look like the bad guy and have it
plastered on every major media outlet.  Their lawyers are probably saying it
is a tossup and the marketing folks are shouting with all their might,
"SETTLE".

Just my two cents.  It would be nice if somebody went to court so that it
would help clear the air.

I think that we will probably see Southwest settle out of court too.  No one
seems to want to be the guinea pig on this one.  Knee jerk says that if the
companies are settling out of court, that they know they are on shaky ground
at best.
