It's not the third eye...it's the horns on your forehead that bother us ;)

Seriously though, it's interesting that this discussion has arisen here,
as we had a very similar one not so long ago on the Accessify forum; I
also had a long heated discussion with an alpha-geek at work who
insisted that, because a particular site didn't work well in Konqueror
on Linux, he'd be able to sue the company responsible under the
Disability Discrimination Act (so again the same "accessibility is about
making a site work on all platforms/browsers).
