It's a very odd question:

It isn't the most deftly worded question, but it's pretty clear to me.
The reading light example is about as transparent as I can make it. I
suspect that David and Julie are just ambulance chasing. As it were.
You already know that it doesn't take much bureaucratic bumf to set me
off, but it's isn't at all clear to me why you're being kind to this
bilge. My problem with the question is not that they've cut and pasted
notions from the ADA--I understand what they're hoping to achieve. The
reason to make fun of the question is that it's an example of the
fatuous slop you find everywhere these days. Pump the stuff out I say.
Send it--of course in an ecologically appropriate manner-- over the
side in buckets.
I can only invite you to look into your hearts and to ask yourselves,
good people, if you do not laugh at this, then what will you accept
next? Will you then in good conscience be in a position otherwise be
able to write for this list, for which you are trying to write for,
with or without reasonable accommodations?
As for Julie's lack of letters after her name...surely Count Mike
Grossvati von der HoldenPaxtonundNaimh, CNN, ESP(n), 750Cl, can have a
quiet word with the King?
