Yes, I realize that.
The reason I posted my comment was that as I read his post, then your post, then his response, I felt that a distinction had been lost between the proper alt value on the non-linked icon before the links, and the wording of the links themselves.
So when you said "Possibly try "More Info about blah blah blah".", and Mr. Evans agreed with you, I felt this could be interpreted to pertain to the alt text, and not the link text.
So I was just trying to put that distinction back into the conversation, so the original poster would understand the recommendation (that we all seem to agree on).
