As a matter of Usenet philopsophy, it is best to make your point in the
Subject line if you can, or at least at the start of your message, instead of
wasting the most valuable places of a message to pointless babbling.
The analogous principle for web design should be obvious.

Does this surprise you? Some people do care about disabled people, you know.
Of course we often disagree on finer points, such as what is the maximal
accessibility achievable in a particular siatuation.

Are you going to make a point or just babble? Whether some designs (of which
you give no actual examples) pleases you is hardly relevant.

Apparently you have no idea of what you are talking about, and no point to be
made. This explains your style and approach.

I think you are just trolling. I notice, unsurprised, that you do not mention
your own web site, or any other web site, as an example of your philosophy
(but then again, you didn't present any philosophy, just attacks against
accessibility - and strawmen).
