Seems like a very appropriate response to me.

Yup. I don't 'just deal' with things either. I'm working a quiet crusade
against unusable websites - when I wind up on one, I hunt for the
webmaster's address and politely state that I found their site unusable
and why. Same philosophy.
I do get an occasional 'well fsck you' response. I also get a few
'gee, I didn't even think of that' responses. Mostly I get ignored.
I figure that the people who are rude or the ones who don't pay
attention deserve their sites to be unusable. The ones were merely
ignorant get as much help from me as they ask for - though sometimes
that help is a direction to the WWW consortium or the HTML writer's
guild. :)
