I totally agree here James. I think nowadays its almost gone to the

Though the OP didn't say the Cobalt website was "inaccessible"; she said
this particular practice made it more difficult for her to use.
I don't like to use "accessible" and "inaccessible" as absolute
categories. I think it's more helpful to think of more and less
accessible practices, particularly with reference to particular user
groups. For example, a site might be very easy for a screen reader user
to use, and very hard for a person with a learning disability to use.
I agree with the OP that including "Click here for" in a link generally
makes a site harder to use, although there may be cases where it serves
to emphasise a link as a call to action.
