This is a misrepresentation of the facts.  As it was explained to you at the
time, the issues you were experiencing were *not* caused by a lack of
standards-compliance of the web pages in question, they were caused by a
failure of *lynx* to implement the requisite five-year-old web standards.
Yet, rather than acknowledging this lynx bug and offering to work with the
lynx maintainer to address it, you insinuated (and continue to insinuate,
every time something doesn't work exactly right for you) that the people
responsible for the changes don't care about accessibility.

This is demotivating and not constructive in the least, and it is a good way
to get people to ignore you regardless of the validity of your concerns (and
kudos to Erinn for working around lynx's bugs in spite of the hostility of
the messenger).  I quite agree that Debian doesn't need more people with
attitudes like this.
