is that how this works? throw up a disclaimer and i'm good?

i mean, it's fine they are in a tough spot and can't put up an accessible version right now. but that should maybe be answered in court in a year. and people will go to jail if it's a cover up, or not if it was an honest mistake.

The whole notion of 'i might stab you because i'm not good at knives' isn't really plausible to me. however, i'm totally willing to accept student drivers on the road, because everyone needs to learn _somehow_. Hopefully it's an honest mistake, or incompetence, and not anything sinister.




Unfortunately, this is a fairly common work around for govt sites. Same goes for designing a site for multiple browsers, just throw up a caveat that "site is best viewed in IE circa 2001" to avoid actually fixing the problem
