    Why don't you actually post about the topic rather than put a headline then a link to your site?

    I would love to read more comprehensive posts.

    Welcome to DP ;)

    I'm amazed that someone would change the way they do biz based on one suggestion.

    IMO this is basically telling you to allow people to leave your site and go to others which will make them forget you.

    With out going links opening in new windows, if they lose interest and give up and close the window, that are back to you.

    I disabled java and java script and links still opened in new windows. I opened pages and closed them and the back button didn't break.

    I don't get it? I call bullshit.

    I'm willing to challenge folks and I'll take it on the chin when wrong. However I WILL question anything that "MY" research shows to be short sighted or misguided.

    One of my favorite quotes on that topic is:

    "Some people mistake weakness for tact. If they are silent when they ought to speak and so feign an agreement they do not feel, they call it being tactful. Cowardice would be a much better name. Tact is an active quality that is not exercised by merely making a dash for cover. Be sure, when you think you are being extremely tactful, that you are not in reality running away from something you ought to face." -- Sir Frank Medlicott

    I'm going to take that, print an iron-on transfer, make the t-shirt, and hand it to my cousin. Awesome quote! LOL

    To the members who gave a reputation to my post "Spammer" or "Spam your site elsewhere", have not understood what the whole thing is about, or he/she has nothing against descriminating web users with diverse disabilities.

    Just my opinion...
