Forgive me if I sound blue. I have been beaten up a twice in the span of seven days. Not physically, mind you, but my concerns about web accessibility were dismissed and it's discouraging. The word accessibility, I have learned, simply does not sell very well and may be summarily rejected. Bring up the word and ears close with an audible snap. It's distressing. You're probably wondering what I mean by "beaten up" at this point so let me explain by backing up a bit and telling you about two situations.
