I contacted the web team of our local village newsletter to point out that
it had scrolling text which a) was not accessible; and b) used the
proprietary IE <marquee> tag and therefore the text wasn't visible at all
to users of oter browsers. I thought that I was polite about it; I
thought that I was being helpful.
