This sort of response is wholly unhelpful and inappropriate. Lists such as
this one (and this one in particular) often have subscribers who come from
the entire spectrum of knowledge and experience. Responses like this one
typically scare "Newbies" away from posting questions or comments, lest they
be attacked.

This list is probably the longest lasting discussion list for Web
accessibility and helped me personally in many ways when I was first getting
into web development and accessibility. It wouldn't have lasted so long or
been so valuable if calling people "stupid" was considered acceptable.

Last, you may be well advised to research who Jon Gunderson is and what his
contribution to accessibility has been before you attack him.
