Interesting perspective, and I fully appreciate it. My best friend is legally 
blind. He also feels similarly with regards to much of the "advocacy" groups 
which are little more than "poor me" clubs. (We won't name them, I'm sure you 
know them.)

All I was advocating was that there should (at the very minimum) a 
requirement that WEBsites at least offer a *minimal* support for blind users, such as a 
toll-free number in plain text, so that your assistance devices can read it to 
you. If Macromedia is actually making methods for text-based browsers to read 
the stuff in Flash, that is a very good thing. The ball is clearly in the 
WEBsite Designer's court, though.
