Hi, Daniel -

I don't quite understand the advice you are giving, and I couldn't fine
the link you mentioned.  In the U.S. we have the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA), and we have civil disobedience, but not the
"civil disabilities act."  Is that the name of a Canadian law?  If not, I
don't think U.S. law extends to Canada, where Michael and his website
reside. Could you elaborate a bit more on how websites themselves (as
opposed to web browsers or computer equipment) should conform with a U.S.
and/or Canadian disabilities act?

Thanks,
Stephen
