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

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... :-) Darrell Shandrow - Shandrow Communications! Technology consultant/instructor, network/systems administrator!

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! ----- Original Message ----- From: Shelly To: blindcasting@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, April 11, 2006 12:54 PM Subject: Re: Google now has audio captcha 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? -shelly On 4/11/06, Shane Jackson <jack728@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: You got it, Jeff. Hats off to Darrell; big time!!! This is totally cool!!!
