Hi Andrew

My mistake, it was not the comment that I was referring to, although
you've made an argument for it, I was referring to the title of the
article, it makes it sound as if things have turned a corner yet
there is still miles to go.

Of course Adobe is part of accessibility, I'd love to se Flash become
really accessible, remember I designed in it for 4 years and loved it. :O)

cheers

Geof
