And that would prevent you from applying for a job on the internet in
which way? You were able to access the post and thi snews group,
therefore you are able to access the directions on how to apply.

Lot's of assumptions here on him using a screen reader or whatever.
And if he had to use a screen reader, it is unlikely he would be hired
for a job working retail, as the ability to see is pretty fundemental
to the position. If he cann't see, it would be like a guy in a
wheelcahir crying discrimmination because the Chicago Cubs wont place
him on the team.
