So since so many of us signed the petition shouldn't we send around a big thank 
you card grin.

  Yes, but that "bunch of trouble" you caused sure has made a positive 
difference!

    Hi all,

    Thanks, everyone, for all the great positive sentiment, but, really, I 
didn't do much other than cause a bunch of trouble with that annoying Google 
Word Verification Accessibility Petition and other things...  :-)  If something 
I did made some sort of difference to improve accessibility, well, maybe it was 
worth it then.  Thanks to Jeff, Shane, Susan, Tari, Jamal  and many others for 
all their grassroots hard work in supporting a positive accessibility outcome.  
There's still quite a distance to travel, so we can't sit on our laurels...  :-)

      Well I want to thank Darrel for his work in getting this underway.  Maybe 
if we keep at it, then others will follow!  We can't afford to rest until 
others get in line to make word verification accessible!

        This is tremendous news! I just tried it, and will be putting a short 
segment into my next podcast.

        As part of the segment, I went to a Blogger blog whose owner uses word 
verification to prevent comment spam. Unfortunately, Blogger does not appear to 
have implemented an audio verification option. Does anyone know if this 
addition is planned?
