A bookmaker's V&R...

Alright, so...yes, yes, yes, this should be in the V&R forum, but, so what. I'd have to explain everything, for those good folks to get it, and you lads (and ladies) will "get it" right away.

There are reasons that a decade ago, you all knew me as a fun, lighthearted, warm, kind person(alright, yes, I'm slathering it on a bit) but now, I'm old, jaded and bitter. This email is one of the reasons, and all its brethren, that drive me to misogynistic tendencies, in the original meaning of the word...

An inquiry from someone yesterday, which said:



Me:

Whu? :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: :huh2: :huh2: followed by:
:headscratch: :headscratch: :headscratch:followed by:
:stare: :stare: :stare:

This is why I'm insane. This is the sort of thing that is turning me into the Ebeneezer Scrooge of Scrooges, lemme tell ya.

So, for those of you that WILL ask, my reply:



Which, of course, was not my REAL, inner-dialogue reply. I'll refrain from that, because with my luck, that person will search on this standard and this bloody post will come up.

I mean...if you're gonna be an accessibility badass, don'tcha think you should at least READ the damned standards? And pay attention to the fact that they're for THE WEB, not eBooks, where things like "make it easier for users to hear or see the content" are ENTIRELY in the control of the device-and-firmware makers, ffs?

AGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!
