Larry, I'm sorry if you took my comments the wrong way. In nearly 20 years of testing and countless hundreds of projects, we have only seen a handful of pages that were fully WCAG AA conformant, and even the smallest and simplest websites contained non-conformances. Many of those developers would say they know accessibility, but for some reason that knowledge has never resulted in a conformant website. The next time your group is looking for a testing company we would be happy to do a couple of days' testing free of charge.

Regards,
Steve

Steve,

Your remark was uncalled for, and an insult to us developers who do happen know accessibility. The next time our group is looking for a testing company, I am sure I'll take your snippy and insulting comment into consideration.
