Although a test that certifies users for hunting is well, a bit inappropriate for blind people, in a site that offers a variety of tests and certificates, where at least some apply to blind people, keeping a consistent look and feel to the entire site, might mandate making all tests use the same overall design. Then, all tests will probably be accessible to blind people, although some reason should be applied to which tests have any validity at all, since I'd hate being shot down like an Elk by a blind albeit certified Elk hunter :-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
